Decision to abort will haunt mother forever

A July 2 article quoted U.S. Sen. Susan Collins as saying she “would not support a nominee who demonstrated hostility to Roe v. Wade,” which established abortion as a constitutional right. That means the right to kill an unborn human. The right to murder.
