Letters to the Editor
I recently learned that Idaho voters are gathering signatures in order to restore a woman’s right to choose. After giving successful birth to two children, my niece learned that she was pregnant and that her third child had only half a brain. She decided to abort it and does not live in Idaho. If she lived here in Idaho she would have been forced to carry the child to term, deliver it, and care for it for the remainder of his/her life. I can’t imagine the mental, physical, and emotional trauma she would have had to endure for the rest of her life. Two out of every three Idahoans believe abortion should be legal.
