LETTER: A 10-month old Texas baby kept on life support

I am not alone in having sympathy for the parents of the 10-month old baby for whom continuance on life support is being debated in Texas (Dec. 11 Review-Journal). I cannot, however, have feelings for the Texas right-to-life organization fighting to have the baby kept on life support.

Presumably most members of this group feel life is sacred and that keeping this baby alive is doing the work of Christ. Undoubtedly, however, this Texas group is against the social implications of universal health care and its financial costs. This leads to conflict.

Ignoring the recommendation of doctors to remove life support, the group now fights to have society cover the costs of forever keeping alive a baby who will never be capable of awareness or thought. This, while not wanting to cover the costs of medical care for individuals capable of contributing to society.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
