Thanks for speaking out so forcefully

To the Editor:

I commend Hannah McLeod for speaking so forthrightly and forcefully about the new extreme abortion laws.

I am 81 years old and have lived here for 25 years. I have seen and worked with so many abused and neglected children that I can’t fathom the Christians taking such a stand on abortion. I would only listen if each one of them fostered or adopted one of these children. Instead of preaching, they could take a truly Christian stand toward this issue.
