Letter: Leave abortion up to women

Some points to ponder: First, regarding the abortion issue, men just need to shut up. Until a boy or man is raped by a stranger or family friend or relative and made pregnant, no man can possibly know the mental pressure and anguish along with the physical hurt and changes taking place in the victim.

Instead of telling women what they should or should not do with their bodies, men need to put their energies toward supporting victims of unwanted pregnancies and whatever decisions they make. Then go after the perpetrator of the rape with strong penalties including removal of certain male body parts which will prevent him from ever doing it again.

Secondly, I find it almost laughable that Congress would be holding UFO hearings. Most everybody knows aliens landed from who knows where and over the past several years have taken over the Republican Party. How else do you explain the hatred, greed and complete insanity currently at work in the party? Those attitudes do not come from the America I have known for my 79 years.
