LETTER: GOP and abortion

As a conservative Republican, I am vehemently opposed to anyone or any government agency telling any Americans what personal decisions they cannot make for themselves in their own private lives.

If a woman is opposed to abortion, don’t abort her pregnancy. If a women would rather abort than bring an unwanted child into this world, her decision is solely hers.

I do believe a woman who decides to abort should consider this action as soon as she discovers she is pregnant.

Ideally, there should be no Roe v. Wade or anti-abortion laws like the one in Texas. Trying to impose a personal private view which one sincerely believes upon another by legal means is wrong and should not be tolerated.

This also serves as advice for GOP political candidates. They should tone down the anti-abortion rhetoric and take a neutral position on this sensitive issue.

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
