Ruling against abortion would be a disgrace
The conservative Supreme Court appears to be yielding to those who oppose the constitutional separation of church and state and ceding private control of people’s complex bodies to inhumane “legalities.”
The result, if the restrictive Mississippi abortion law is upheld, will be poor women going to backstreet abortionists and possibly dying in the process, or bearing their neonates in toilet stalls and discarding them in dumpsters. Young girls will be forced to bear the result of rape or incest.
This is progress? No, this is immoral and a violent regression in a supposedly advanced nation. A disgrace to the court and to law, justice and morality.

Back attempt to return to rule of law
Kudos to Lourdes Ramirez: Her lawsuit to protect Siesta Key’s taxpaying residents from the pervasive lawlessness of the Sarasota County Commission deserves support and attention. A former head of the Siesta Key Association, this is a continuation of her service to our community (“Siesta Key hotel development challenged in court by Sarasota County resident,” Nov. 29).
Perhaps more significant is her ongoing fight against the malfeasance of the leadership of Sarasota County’s Republican Party. For over a decade, she has fought to bring honesty and integrity back to the party.
Most Sarasota Republicans are totally unaware that their local party has devolved into nothing more than a rubber stamp for uncontrolled, taxpayer-subsidized development. As a result, our taxes, traffic and crime skyrocket as fast as our environment and quality of life plummet.
Enough is enough. People move here because they like it, not because they want us to become the next Miami Beach.
The protections afforded by our local land-use laws are meaningless because our county and local judges refuse to enforce them. Although history says she will be, let’s hope Ramirez is not just the latest protester standing in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square.
