Letter: Rich women will always have access to abortion
(Trent Nelson | Tribune file photo) A rally in the Capitol Rotunda in Salt Lake City on Tuesday May 21, 2019 was part of a nationwide series of protests to bring attention as a number of conservative states pass laws aimed at getting abortion before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. Women of means have always been able to find a “sympathetic” doctor ($$$).
But a woman who has trouble feeding the children she already has is forced to add another child to her hard-scrabble life or submit to a back-alley or self-inflicted dangerous procedure.
How many “procedures” has our crotch-grabbing POTUS paid for?
