Herndon must be called to account for agenda

It is my own fault. I know better. But, I read Scott Herndon’s “Notes from Boise” on Sunday. (Jan. 29, Daily Bee) In it, he slyly “buries the lead” by placing his main repugnant gem near the end. I respect his right to say what he believes, but how dare he assume that he can legislate his beliefs? In his opinion, there are no reasons to have an abortion. Not incest, not rape, not health — nothing. He is at the very height of arrogance to think that his beliefs are the only ones and to think that he can dictate to us all.

Every woman has the right to care for her own body in the way she sees fit. Period. Who does Scott Herndon think gave him the right to decide that a woman must carry a child to term after she is raped? Surely not a loving god.

I am ashamed that a man of this mentality got elected to represent us. Ashamed, but determined not to remain silent. I suggest we all use every opportunity to disavow this ridiculous attempt to promote and legislate this extreme agenda. Above all, when the opportunity arises again, we MUST vote him out of office. We screwed up once, let us not allow it again.
