To the editor: I’m completely appalled to learn {that a} full-spectrum abortion care clinic has been pushed out of Beverly Hills. As Angelenos, and as Californians, we ought to be ashamed. How can we be thought of a sanctuary state once we received’t battle extremists in our personal yard? Any one among us with a uterus and of reproductive age might find yourself needing a clinic identical to this. All it will take is a extreme being pregnant complication or a change in our well being. How would we really feel if we couldn’t entry it?
There are few clinics that present this sort of wanted healthcare within the nation. We might have had the following one right here in “blue” Los Angeles. As a substitute native politicians — most of whom proudly boast their pro-choice bona fides — caved to terror. Disgrace, disgrace, disgrace.

To the editor: As a longtime resident of Beverly Hills and a board-certified OB-GYN, I’m outraged not solely at actions of the Beverly Hills metropolis officers who, in complete disregard of the state Structure, acceded to the calls for of an extremist antiabortion group, but in addition on the metropolis’s use of the police to assist perform this marketing campaign in opposition to ladies’s rights.
We should defend ourselves in opposition to the extremists who need to unlawfully management ladies’s our bodies, and we should additional forestall our over-armed and overfunded police from aiding on this assault.

To the editor: Thanks for the article in regards to the “4 yentas” who took on town of Beverly Hills of their battle to protect ladies’s reproductive rights in opposition to the assault of the anti-choice activists. I used to be appalled on the conduct of town officers who caved underneath strain to threats of civic and financial disruption made by a gaggle of outsiders. This group got here to Beverly Hills for the particular goal of stopping the DuPont Clinic from working a authorized enterprise in a constructing that already housed one such clinic.
Disgrace on the constructing proprietor, too. The truth that town gave the group of outsiders an instantaneous viewers and capitulated to its calls for, whereas denying entry to the clinic’s representatives, who had been precise tenants within the metropolis, is offensive.

To the editor: In my youth (late Sixties-70s), speak about contraception centered on contraception, not post-conception. Regardless of the advances in medical science pertaining to being pregnant administration and contraceptive choices, many {couples} at present select chemical abortion as their technique of contraception.
The article states that 5 million ladies have used abortion tablets for the reason that FDA authorized the tablets 20 years in the past. As a male, I can solely think about the deep heartache a pair should undergo once they determine to terminate a fetus. Or the remorse that conjures up a lady to hunt Dr. Delgado and his abortion intervention of progesterone injections.
No person is ideal and premature issues occur. However affordable measures if taken ought to reduce the prospect that these painful selections must be made. Morality and conscience ought to be apolitical and be current in all individuals. Having the fitting to do one thing doesn’t make it the fitting factor to do.
