Letter - Not proud of these statistics
In 1995, the Doe v. Gomez decision by the Minnesota Supreme Court required taxpayers to pay for abortions performed on low-income women. As of 2012, taxpayers have funded 62,350 abortions since the decision at a cost of more than $19 million.
To the editor:
I have lived in the state of Minnesota 30 years (December 1982) and have grown to love Minnesota, its people and its customs and traditions. However, there are over 300,000 Minnesotans I will never meet: doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers and ministers, whose mothers chose to abort.
More than 11,000 unborn children are aborted in Minnesota every year, according to the MCCL News newspaper. The total was 11,071 in 2011.

And I heard somewhere that the state needs more income from taxpayers.
Of these Minnesota statistics, I am not proud.
