Dear Senator Mautz,
Today I write you simply as a woman who is one of your constituents. I recently read an email from you regarding your opposition to SB 0798 – Right to Reproductive Freedom.
Please give me a minute of your time by reading my letter. I am 75 years old and remember the pre-Roe days. A friend of mine was raped and went to New York City for an illegal abortion. She nearly bled to death in her dorm room when she came back to school.
Another friend was well off. She flew to London for an abortion.
I am sure that you could afford such a trip for a family female with an unwanted pregnancy. So you have no worries about banning the procedure here in the USA.
I personally take offense when men make such decisions so broadly for all women. We need access to safe abortions here in the USA with no limits as to why.
Thank you, Senator Mautz, for reading this.
