My thoughts on the abortion issue

Abortion rights were not spelled out when the Constitution was made the law of the land. To even mention this is ridiculous. In 1777 no thought was given to women. It was a man’s world. Women didn’t even get the right to vote until 1920. I wonder if abortion was ever attempted back then. I assume all pregnancies were completed with birth unless a miscarriage occurred. Large families were needed to farm the land. Abortion rights would have been the last thing to worry about when writing the document. In America, life is different today. Most live in cities. Children are a huge expense. Many couples have decided to delay or not have children at all. With both working full time in order to make ends meet, the children, if they have them spend their days in child care facilities with only the evenings and weekends to bond. The Congress should enact legislation allowing families to make the choice that makes the most sense to them. Everyone else should find something better to do with their time. Jack B.
