The cartoon in the May 18th edition of The Star newspaper depicts the issue of abortion as a political one. It is a huge disservice to our communities to infer abortion is a political issue. It is not. It is a moral issue. A woman cries out it is her body, therefore, her choice, but what about the little girl or boy who is torn to pieces by the abortion? Why does she or he not get a say in what is going to happen to her or his body?

To hear what happens to that little girl or boy, listen to Dr. Anthony Levatino. In October of 2015, he testified to our Federal Judiciary Committee. He describes from firsthand experience exactly what happens. It takes him just two minutes and twenty-four seconds to describe the procedure. About two minutes and twenty-three seconds more than the demented cartoon takes to misinform our community, but well worth the two minutes.

The testimony can be found on CSPAN2 by searching his name, or follow this link: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4748035/user-clip-dr-anthony-levatino-abortion-procedure
