Letters to the Editor: Control of my body

EDITOR:

Right now, people who have no right are trying to take control of my body. And what makes me the most insulted is that I think at least 90% are men.

R-3 enrollment numbers much lower than projections

Political trends and demographics

How dare they presume to tell me, and other women, what we can and cannot do with our bodies. So if, God forbid, I am raped, or suffered incest, they say I have no recourse but carry that fetus. Even when a pregnancy is in my fallopian tube, I can’t abort.

Why? Because they know better. If I decide for or against abortion, that should be MY right. Not some man who was elected and knows best for me.

Let’s put the shoe on the other foot. I’m a woman, elected to office. The idea that there are not enough jobs or houses available for the current population is a problem. So henceforth, every man HAS to get a vasectomy after his second child.

Wait….how can a woman tell me, a man, to get rid of my manhood????

How? I know what’s best for you. Live with it or go to jail. Don’t try to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body.

I know some of what I have said is harsh, I don’t think anyone has the right to dictate how I make my decisions.

Thank you.
