Letter by Gordon Burhop of Peoria

“My body, my choice.” How many times have we heard this?

This is the argument against the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Overturning Roe v. Wade was largely a Republican effort taking away abortion possibilities.

“My body, my choice.” This also is largely a Republican argument to refuse the coronavirus vaccines. Republicans: You can’t have it both ways.

Does any else see the hypocrisy here? Republicans are big on meddling in people’s lives only when it suits them.
