The country women live in

Letter in today's NY Times:

To the Editor:

A 17-year-old boy, holding his hand tightly over the mouth of a 15-year-old girl to silence her protests, allegedly tried to rape her. 

If he had succeeded and she became pregnant, that boy’s 53-year-old self, now a nominee to the Supreme Court, would today possibly vote to prevent his 15-year-old victim from getting an abortion.

Is this the country that American women must live in? Have we learned nothing? Have our leaders learned nothing?

This man must not be allowed to rule on the bodies of women.
