Response to Ohio TRAP laws to limit Abortion access

Here's the letter I've written to my Ohio Senator and Representative regarding the state refusal to license local abortion providers.

Mr. X, 

I'm writing to express my sincere concern about how the state of Ohio is limiting my family's access to healthcare. If my wife were to have an ectopic pregnancy or any other condition where the ethical choice is to terminate the pregnancy, our access to abortion care is being severely limited by irresponsible and invasive Big Government decisions intended to limit access to abortion services. The legislation driving these changes is reckless, irresponsible, and unethical. Please understand that this situation needs to be rectified immediately.

Thought Experiment On Marriage


I'd like to engage you in a thought experiment, dear reader. Suppose for a moment that two people care deeply about each other and want to spend their lives together. Set aside your assumptions about the nature of their sexual relationship just for a moment (we'll come back to it); Let's assume they're not having sex.

These two people share common interests and views on the important things in their lives. It just so happens that they're the same gender, but that's hardly relevant because this isn't about sex, remember? They care for eachother like brothers or sisters. Such love and commitment is something we should all encourage and celebrate, right?

Now, I promised we'd come back to sex and I know some of you may be harboring a significant doubt or concern about the physical nature of this same-sex relationship.  Let's address the part about sex. I'm happily married to my wife for 14 years.    We have three young children. You might reasonably assume we've had sex, but you wouldn't dare to ask us about our sex life, right?  Because you understand that what consenting adults do in private of our bedroom is none of your goddamn business.

Same goes for homosexual couples. Mind your own fucking business.
