Letters: Pushing the abortion button
LEAVE IT TO the Christian right to again use abortion to throw a monkey wrench at health care.
Abortion has been legal for decades and represents separation from church in favor of state. I, as a taxpayer, pay for many government policies with which I disagree: war, capital punishment and denial of homosexual rights being some of them.
But I want to see improvements for those bankrupted by health care. I separate my pet peeves from issues that benefit the majority. I simply ask the religious right to stop using their hot-button issues to deny the majority.
Like all the rest of us, they have other ways to fix their unrest. It's called the ballot box! Your preachers can't dictate national policy. Only your representatives and public opinion can.
