Letter: Laws That Violate Woman’s Right

Letter to the Editor

Anne Gruner's letter to the editor ["General Assembly More Productive Than reported," Connection, March 28-April 3, 2012] fails to note that the General Assembly's job is specifically to pass legislation as it relates to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Should we commend the General Assembly for doing its job?

Letter: Missing in Abortion Debate

Letter to the Editor

A constant theme among letters to the editor is that of abortion activists eager to advance the cause of liberal women to abort arguably future Democrat voters, which is the ultimate oxymoron.

Letter: Learning from Mistakes

Letter to the Editor

In response to Ms. Elaine Montgomery’s letter (Letters to the Editor, The Reston Connection, April 25-May 1, 2012), I make two points. One, reproductive rights are given to us by our Creator – a point of view not necessarily ascribed to by those with the existential mindset that sex is paramount and reproduction of the human species secondary. It is disingenuous on the part of Ms. Fluke to include recreational sex as a part of reproduction rights. I believe we are learning that reproduction is critical to maintaining a viable democracy – something our offspring may face by 2050.

Letter to the Editor: Such Evil

Letter to the Editor

Positive Movement

To the Editor: Thanks for the great article on Reevesland [“Arlington History for Sale,” May 27]. I lived in nearby Bluemont for nearly 25 years and am very pleased to see this useful old relic of yesteryear get its due consideration.
