The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

To The Eagle:

All this talk about Roe vs Wade, how about preventing abortions?

We all know it takes a man and a woman to make a baby.

If you need sex and don’t want babies, it is the responsibility of both men and women to use condoms, diaphragms, or any form of birth control or just plain abstain to prevent making a baby.

There was a time we saved intimacy and shared that with a mate we love. I hope it still exists.

I understand tragedy can happen such as rape or a woman’s health is at a life and death situation. That’s different.

Babies are precious gems, not trash. We don’t need Planned Parenthood.

Also, it’s refreshing to read Greg Pierce’s letter to the editor last week; good insights for us to think about ‘feelings’ as opposed to who can do ‘the best job.’ I, too, wrote letters to the editor that The Eagle won’t print. I wrote regarding the ‘Jan 6 committee hearings’ and ‘insurrection’ and I’m sure what I wrote would stir up heated controversies. With disinformation and fake news, my hope is that the real truth will eventually come out in a respectful way.
