Letters to the Editor: ‘If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament’
Antiabortion activists demonstrate in Washington on Jan. 21.

To the editor: One antiabortion letter writer, to use his words, “seems to miss the critical point” — if a woman has a heartbeat, no one can rightfully force her body decisions.
Or perhaps he missed this well-known point: If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.

To the editor: A recent letter writer asserted that the critical point in the abortion argument is “whether or not the preborn are people.”
My test for whether fetuses are people is simple: Point to them. If you’re pointing to visible fetuses, they’re people. If you’re instead pointing at pregnant women, they are not.
Sadly, many people fail to see the pregnant woman.
