Letters from our readers Is abortion necessary?

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/07/29

TO THE EDITOR: Is abortion necessary? In 2010 I read in Pew Research that 82% of abortions were first time and 7% were second time.

That tells me that there is a lot of regret around the country on this issue. Leslie Unruh told me that when they took a tour bus around South Dakota to campaign against abortion they were hugely surprised that t...

Buying a shuttle bus a little over a year ago, I took a big risk driving up to North Dakota to pick up a rig I bought on an auction. I had no idea what to expect as I had only seen photos and talked to the company that owned it and was auctioning it off. Lucky for me, the bus was in great condition and drove home nicely. Now, a little over a year later, the real work has begun. The bus sat in my driveway...Article Link
