To the editor:

I am writing in support of Edith Tucker for state senator for District 1, but first I want to set the record straight — Tucker is against a state income tax.

She has my vote! I don’t think people realize that these issues don’t just happen to others! They can very quickly hspoen yo you! My best friend had a stroke four years ago. Her children put their lives on hold to take care of her. Her son took care of her during the day and her daughter moved in and took over evenings and night….all while teaching advanced high school classes! There was no money for outside help! But they loved their mom and kept her home where she was most comfortable. It would have been nice if they could have taken some time off without worrying about whether their jobs would be there! The point is…this could very well happen to you! As to abortion: I had a D&C at age 46 (21 years ago). I now find that that procedure is considered an abortion in some states. I had a flow for 67 days strait…not heavy but enough to be uncomfortable. In the procedure, my OB/GYN removed a growth of cells that were growing but would never develop into a child. But if not for tye flow, I would never have known and it most likely would have developed into a cancer! A neighbor had a wanted pregnancy that ended at about 16 weeks when the fetus died. Her doctor chose to wait to see if she would miscarry…she didn’t and got sepsis Having almost died from that due to a large kidney stone, let me tell you it is not a great experience! It took me months to get back to normal. I can’t imagine if I had been a young mother at the time. Women are going to die because of the Trumpublician stance against abortion! But when it starts happening in their families, it will somehow be the Democrats fault! It wont be and we need to make sure that they are reminded at every turn that it is on them! Imagine if obituaries started reporting tye cause of death! Let’s make sure that those to blame are given the publicity they do richly deserve!
