 When a state denies access to health care

Re: “Woman blocked from having abortion,” December 10 news story

As the state of Texas denies a Texas woman resident the right to terminate a pregnancy in which the unborn child has medical issues as well as the mother risking possible health issues if carried to term, have the rights of an individual gone for the sake of political postures?

If this unborn child survives, since the state refused one’s wishes, are they going to accept the responsibility of funding the care this child may need or is it then the parents’ responsibility? 

Texas, you can’t have it both ways by denying individual rights and then passing responsibility on to others. If you want to make laws taking away rights, you better support your positions and support the outcomes of your decisions.  From  Dave Usechek, in Parker Colorado

Dear Editor:  If a woman has received the sad news from her doctor that her fetus could not possibly survive and the humane solution is to have an abortion, why does the court have the power to overrule this request? Do they presume to be God?

It looks like we have returned to the back ally and coat hanger procedures. Dismantling Roe vs. Wade  turned our country into a court system of barbaric lunatics. Men should not have any voice in this matter; it’s the woman’s body. From Elaine Little, in Denver, Colorado
