Readers Write: No women’s right to take unborn child’s life

The Island Now

Adam Haber wants it to be known that he is in strong support of a women’s right to choose to terminate her child’s life.  

That this is not about a women’s right to decide whether or not she will become a mother is clear: if that were the case, we would be talking about contraception and not abortion.  

A pregnant woman is a mother already.  

Her child’s life can be terminated, therefore it is a living being.  It has its own distinct human DNA, therefore it is a living human being.

Adam Haber describes pro-life politicians as “extremists.”  

Is it not extreme to use sharp instruments to hack apart a human being who has been six months in utero?  Is it not barbaric?
