Editor, the Tribune: Republican politicians complain about government interference in our lives, yet they want the government to force women to continue unwanted pregnancies against their will. There is no scientific, philosophical or religious consensus about when a human life begins. Romney, Ryan, Akin, Hartzler and Schaefer are entitled to their opinion on this issue, but they are not entitled to impose their opinion on others through the power of the government. In a society that values freedom, the woman makes the decision and has access to appropriate medical services. A vote against these politicians is a vote against tyranny and for freedom.
