To the editor:

The Declaration of Independence states we all have unalienable rights, and among these are life and liberty. Governments must preserve all of these rights to preserve life we must not cause murder. We have no right to take another’s life; even the life of the old and feeble; even the life of an unborn child.

This right to life is not negotiable This right is absolute and natural. Even the old and unborn have this right That cannot be taken away or denied. Don’t pretend abortion is birth control or somehow promotes reproductive health DNA proves a fetus is new life; a person unique and not the mother.

No one’s life is better than another’s. All lives are equally valuable. Euthanasia and abortion kill. And the taking of such lives is murder.
