Women’s rights

I applaud the Jan. 27 editorial, Sink this misguided legislative proposal. It states, “The Legislature is considering a bill that virtually bans the practice of abortion in this state . . . News reports said the legislators are acting out of courtesy to Rep. Charles Van Zant, who is in his final session.”

But where is the courtesy to me, and to all women? Please, legislators, respect my rights — stay out of my womb.
