Letter: Contemplate compromise

By
Published:

News outlets from both ends of the spectrum have prime-timed two polarizing issues lately, abortion on demand (body parts being sold) and gun control (Umpqua Community College shooting in Roseburg, Ore.)

I’ve heard this sentence on every news sound bite: “When is enough, enough?”

It has been said that compromise does not exist in Congress. May I suggest the following:

On abortion and gun control, the “Right” gives up assault weapons if the “Left” will give up third-trimester abortions.

Many women I know recite the mantra, “It is a woman’s right to choose since it is our body and no one shall tell us what to do with our bodies.”

I’ll agree if they will agree that, in the same logic, one needs to own and use a gun to make gun-control laws.

Who said compromise was difficult?
