In a recent Star opinion, Nancy Gutierrez asserts that "abortion is health care." Unfortunately and conveniently, she fails to identify the "disease" an abortion is supposedly curing.
The obvious reason for her omission is that abortion is clearly NOT healthcare. Instead, abortion is the purposeful killing of an innocent, genetically unique, defenseless, human life that is being nurtured within a women's body, but is NOT the mother's body. Not one medical textbook that I am aware of identifies pregnancy as a disease.
Ms. Gutierrez' attempts to sanitize abortion by labeling it "health care" is like a Nazi' attempting to convince an unbelieving world that gas chamber showers were for hygiene instead of extermination. That is nonsensical, as are Nancy's suggestions that limiting abortions could result in hysterectomies becoming illegal. That conclusion is illogical; a hysterectomy is a legitimate medical procedure intended to improve a human life, not kill life as with abortion.
