Phrases hide truth about abortion

Regarding "Health decisions belong to women" by Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon published on July 7, in my opinion health decisions should not include the taking of a human life. Sanitized jargon like "birth control" and "a private medical decision" mask the truth that abortion and drugs and devices that cause abortions kill babies.

Human life, whether born or pre-born, deserves the protection of law, because this innocent life has no voice in the matter.
