Letter to the editor: Minds change on abortion

Thank you for your coverage of the March for Life and the statements by President Trump about his position on abortion (“Trump, a late convert to cause, attends anti-abortion rally”). You repeated Trump’s statement from 1999 that he was “pro-choice in every respect.” We witnessed at the March for Life what can happen if a person is willing to learn from the “facts of life” and honestly change his mind.

Trump’s past statements make him seem like an unlikely advocate for the preborn child. But he was not the first guy to change his mind. National Abortion Rights Action League founder Dr. Bernard Nathanson was an ob-gyn who aborted thousands of babies. Later he changed his mind and became a staunch advocate for life. He made the movie “The Silent Scream” about the horror of abortion and became an outspoken advocate for the baby in the womb.

Look at Roe v. Wade. The woman the feminists “used” as “Roe” in the famous 1973 case never had an abortion. Norma McCorvey was simply a tool in the hands of the feminist attorneys who argued the case. McCorvey rejected abortion and became an outspoken heroine in the pro-life movement.

The media remains reluctant to betray the feminist/Democrat/abortion industry. People should know there are more than 40 pregnancy support centers in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and we will continue to offer assistance — free of charge — to any woman who asks.
