No to KavanaughBy Hallie EngelSeptember 17, 2018
I want to ask your readers to call their senators, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and ask them to vote against Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Like many, I am deeply concerned that Kavanaugh will work to overturn Roe V. Wade, making abortion illegal. Maybe that sounds great to you, but consider this: Making abortion illegal will not end abortion. It will only force women to seek dangerous procedures that could kill them. My mother was a nurse when abortion was illegal, and saw many women die and suffer horrific injuries from back alley procedures they sought in times of desperation. If you truly wish to stop abortion, support access to birth control and comprehensive sex education. When people can control their fertility and have a solid understanding of how to avoid unwanted pregnancy, abortions will decrease. Please stop Kavanaugh. Thank you. Best, Hallie Engel
