Letter: Pay attention to facts

I am glad readers are somewhat perusing my letters. Let’s pay attention to facts and details.

A recent letter substituted progressives to Democrats (historically correct) with a bold assertion that Democrats nor the “left” support eugenics, abortion or cultural cleansing. Those were progressive pursuits. But, when reading the Democratic Party platform, one will read these words: “that every woman should be able to access high-quality reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortion.” Again, corroborate what you know or believe.

This verification unequivocally refutes the claim that the Democrats and the “left” do not support abortions specifically. Do readers follow voting records of politicians or actions of the Department of Justice that the current administration advocate? Should the Democratic Party platform be denounced?

Another rebuttal is necessary. The major increase in crime during the Trump administration occurred largely in states and cities that are Democratic bastions wholly under their jurisdictions. President Trump honored the Ninth and 10th amendments. Crime and civil violence are escalating under this current administration. Can these points be refuted? No. Be cognizant of what is going on in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and more.
