I appreciate your prayers on your decision to further erode the reproductive rights of Wyoming’s women and their families with SF109 and HB152. I would hate it if you made such a callous decision without a long and hard look at the lives you are ruining, or taking, cause that’s what we’re talking about, right?
I hope you prayed for the women and girls who will attempt and/or commit suicide because they are pregnant and see no way out. I hope you prayed for the women and girls who die because doctors are afraid to help them for fear of prison. I hope you prayed for the women in terrible marriages who may have to stay with an abuser because they are pregnant. I hope you prayed for the women with an ectopic pregnancy who cannot get an abortion because of the line you have drawn for them, and they will probably die without it.

I especially hope you prayed for the hopes and dreams of the women and girls, their present and future families erased by you and legislative extremists Bo Biteman, Dave Kinskey, Ken Pendergraft, Mark Jennings and last but not least Cyrus Western. I don’t think Cyrus is an extremist exactly, he’s just trying to keep a good gig. Since I vote in Sheridan County I might as well call them out.
Legal abortion is an important component of women’s healthcare. You can’t pray that fact away. If you don’t like it, don’t have one.
