Editor, The Smithfield Times:

There is an abundance of legislating against women that is occurring in our country. Recently, the governor of Texas was videoed signing an executive order to forbid the mail order of morning-after pills in the state of Texas. Just one more example of how women are being vilified and discriminated against.

What about the men? There is no legislation to determine paternity or require child care and financial support from the father. It’s all on the women, and is that fair? I don’t think so! So, what can we in Virginia do about it?

We must vote for the Democratic Party candidates in the November elections. They do not discriminate against women and believe in their right to decide what health care and medications to use.

The candidates are Terry McAuliffe for governor, Hala Ayala for lieutenant governor, Mark Herring for attorney general and Michael Drewry for House of Delegates.
