Don’t spend taxpayer money on abortions
I read the Sunday article concerning funding out-of-state and in-state abortions.
I find this totally unacceptable: to utilize taxpayers’ money on abortions. What we as a community should be paying for, however, is birth control. People in their childbearing years should know by now how to get or not to get pregnant. This is especially true with the proliferation of knowledge that is easily accessible through a cellphone. There is no excuse for ignorance, don’t blame the schools for not teaching it. Like the article concerning how public schools are failing their students: the students need to show up to be educated. Fully funding birth control for both men and women would be a logical step in preventing unwanted and or unplanned pregnancies, instead of funding abortions.

More enforcement needed on ‘insane roads’
Sadly another construction worker has been killed while working on our roads. We offer sympathy to the family but Senator Blumenthal gets on his high horse on TV again and Gov Lamont is outraged.
Connecticut could have deadliest year on the roads since the 1980s, per the state.
We need better police enforcement of our insane roads. Words do nothing to stop bad drivers.
