Letter: If Sen. Dan McCay really wanted to preserve the sanctity of life, he would support measures to make abortion unnecessary, like low- to no-cost birth control and subsidized child care, writes Brooke in Riverton.
Unfortunately, you haven’t done anything to help women to prevent pregnancy — thereby reducing the need for abortion — suggesting this isn’t about the sanctity of life but the subjugation of women. Half of all pregnancies are unintended. Men, not women, are 100% responsible for all unintended pregnancies because they are fertile 365 days a year while women are only fertile approximately 24 days a year.
If you really wanted to preserve the sanctity of life you would support measures to make abortion unnecessary. Utah could provide low or no cost birth control, comprehensive sex education, subsidized child care, full day kindergarten, resources for abused women, aggressive prosecution of domestic violence and aggressive prosecution of deadbeat dads who refuse to pay child support. All these measures help reduce abortions. However, you and the Republican Legislature do not find value in them.
Give women options to raise their children in health and safety, not draconian misogynist laws meant to punish and impoverish women. These are all common sense measures supported by research and statistics, suggesting your goal is not to preserve the sanctity of life but something far more sinister. Could it be that the entire Republican scheme in outlawing abortion is to increase the “domestic supply of infants” as suggested by Justices Alito? Sen.
