Thank you for the front page coverage of Stephanie Hopping with the American Life League, protesting Planned Parenthood’s meeting at Chinn Park Regional library. The constitutional right to peaceful
protest is powerful and touches others, such as Jane Roe. We need to be made aware that our tax dollars pay for abortions performed at these facilities across America. More than 50 million babies have
been aborted since Roe v. Wade became law 35 years ago!
It is a law based on a lie by lawyers who were seeking to overturn the Texas statue that outlawed abortion, and they needed a desperate and believable plaintiff. Jane Roe was 22 year old Norma
McCorvey, divorced and pregnant for the third time. The court was told that her pregnancy was the result of a gang rape. Ironically, she never had an abortion herself. McCorvey told the January 2008
issue AFA Journal: “On March 17.1970, I signed the affidavit that brought the holocaust of abortion into America. I thought I was doing something right; I thought I was doing something good, and I was
wrong.”
A convert to Catholicism, which always condemns the sin of abortion but not the sinner, she wrote in her autobiography: “I carried a very heavy burden, but realized that God did not view me solely through
the lens of what I had done or how I had been used. Now, after I had been forgiven, Jane Roe was irrelevant. The woman He loved — the woman He saved — was Norma Leah McCorvey.”

Norma Leah McCorvey--22 years old, unmarried, and pregnant for the third time. There is a lesson in all that. Family planning would’ve prevented the pregnancy problem in the first place. Her Texas high school (like schools in our county) was obviously remiss in not teaching it.

Must be from az diehard Catholic. The real truth about Roe v. Wade is that abortions were outlawed - nothing else.

We should also be aware that our tax dollars support churches that don’t pay real estate taxes or income taxes on their profits. And our tax dollars are used in the ongoing invasion of Iraq which has killed over 600,000 innocent people. The world doesn’t always operate as we would like it to. Perhaps George W. Bush should convert to Catholicism, which condemns the sin but not the sinner, for peace in his later life.
