To the Editor:
Since our congressional delegation refuses to hold open-forum meetings with their constituents, I have chosen to ask my question in this public forum. Perhaps Sens. Enzi and Barrasso and Rep. Cheney will publicly address my question, rather than just respond with their usual GOP talking points.
Dear Mike, John, and Liz,
I’m sorry you’ve chosen not to attend town halls for actual dialog with your constituents. You claim to be listening to me, but I’m not convinced you actually grasp what I hear when you talk or send me your boilerplate form letter answers.
When you speak about abortion/reproductive health care I certainly don’t hear enthusiastic support for the right of the half of the population with vaginas to the full bodily autonomy and opportunity to shape their futures granted to those with penises. What I hear instead is the dogma of evangelical Christianity, which demands not only subservience of women to men, and the obligation to produce children, but also claims that men own women’s sexuality and can choose where we have our health care.
