To the Editor:

As the planet grows hotter and more crowded, the same is true within the bounds of our own country. Here on our home turf, the media makes it out to look like Americans become more politically divided each season. But is that really the case? Or are we - the working class, everyday folks - being swayed by the propaganda machine?

I support individual freedom. As does every Republican I know. Vaccine Choice and being Pro-Choice are both individual freedoms granted to us by being citizens of the United States of America and I will fight to keep it that way, regardless of the forces trying to divide us.

The voices calling to overturn Roe v Wade and remove a pregnant person's right to choose are calling for a  blatant double standard: Freedom of Choice for *some*, but not *all*.

Taking a Pro-Life stance is equal to an interference with another adult's decision about their own body (as a blastula is not a baby). Keep your bans off others' bodies, especially if you were born before your mama had her own right to choose.
