Texas Legislation Adds Conditions on Abortion

Below is the letter to the editor that I sent to the Wall Street Journal regarding the article found at this website http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704681904576315350526209130.html?mod=ITP_pageone_1

Good Morning

I read with great interested the article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on 11 May 2011 on page A4 entitled Texas Legislation Adds Conditions on Abortion.

I was most struck by the comments by Ms Kelly Rosati from the group Focus on the Family on how an ultrasound is capable of having a woman connect "with that child inside her".

It is interesting how she and others on the religious and political right are so anxious for a woman to connect with her unborn child but are not willing to devote the necessary resources so that relationship can grow and develope once the child is born. Ms Rosati and Focus on the Family are prime examples of the attitude that tells women we will do everything possible for you to keep your child, but once it is born, you are on your own.
