Letter: Save the lives of unborn children

Jan. 22 is the anniversary date of the Roe v. Wade decision of the Supreme Court in 1973 which made abortion legal in this country and that date has been designated as black Monday ever since. It was a despicable decision which changed our cultural delight in freedom to a culture of death. The number of women who die from abortion is unknown due to poor reporting and definition issues. We do know that for every abortion another life has been taken, the life of the unborn child.

This year 2017 may bring us hope that the end is near as we do have an anti-abortion plank in the Republican platform and Republicans now have majority in both houses of Congress and President-elect Donald Trump is on record as also being on the side of life. It is up to the citizenry to hold these entities responsible for saving the lives of the unborn.

The immediate need is to stop all federal money going to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the country.
