To the editor:

I believe everyone’s body is theirs and theirs alone. But now, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade and ended nearly 50 years of precedent, eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion. The Court is taking our power to control our own bodies and personal decisions and handing it directly to the politicians.

First off, I question the accuracy of the stat numbers. Also nowhere in the Constitution is abortion mentioned as a right. The Supreme Court merely passed the decision making to the state level rather than a federal mandate. In fact, twenty states are expanding their abortion laws to allow PAs and nurses to perform this procedure which I find to be abhorrent. Nonetheless I accept the results both good and bad.
