Not yours to control

At least two Arkansas legislators, Rep. Bob Ballinger and Sen. Trent Garner, are already frothing at the mouth at the thought of having another shot at banning all abortions in the state.

A question for you two and other men like Jerry Cox who agree with you: What is it with your obsession with women’s bodies and your insatiable desire to control them? Seriously.

I think I know, but that’s between you and your maker.

You plan to allow abortion only in the event the life of the mother is in danger, but not in the case of rape or incest. What kind of vile, sadistic person conceives of such inhumanity?

No doubt you are “pro-life.” Are you also pro-health care, education, food, housing, nurturing for those you are forcing to be birthed? Does your pro-life stance include mercy for the 2,300 children who have been separated from their parents and are scattered to the four corners of the country?

Most of us know that if men could become pregnant, free abortion clinics would spring up on every street corner in the country.

Mind your own body, gents. My body, my choice. Keep your nose out of my business. LEE JONES Little Rock
