Letter: “Death penalty” for abortion? Don’t even go there
(J. Scott Applewhite | The Associated Press) In this Friday, Oct. 20, 2017, file photo, activists with Planned Parenthood demonstrate in support of a pregnant 17-year-old being held in a Texas facility for unaccompanied immigrant children to obtain an abortion, outside of the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington.
“Mr.” Bob Nobini: Shut up. Until you can get pregnant, give birth, raise and nurture a child you have no right to talk about abortions (Salt Lake Tribune, April 4, “Punishment for abortion should include death penalty”). Only women have the right to choose what happens to or what they do with their bodies and lives. Males, shut up!
