Letter: Abortion rights should be considered from all sides

I cast my absentee ballot this week and got thinking about my vote.

My family has always been conservative. So while voting, I was thinking as a conservative.

When it comes to abortion rights, I thought I was voting for all the babies who been murdered and never had a chance to vote. I thought of the women saying their body, their decision. How much say did the baby have? How much say did the father have? If the woman is aborting a child, does the father have a say in whether it lives or dies?

I’m just exercising my right to free speech.
