Comments
  • As someone who is guided by the principles of nonviolence I am torn in many directions by abortion legislation. It is an issue which cannot be addressed properly by one question. It’s not a simple black or white issue. We need a full and honest discussion on abortion rights and the respect for each other to do so freely and without being denigrated for individual views.
