Alaska should work on laws to save lives

I read in the paper Feb. 10 that Democratic Rep. Harriet Drummond introduced legistation Monday that would give terminally ill patients the right to decide to end their lives.

It’s time to stop all this nonsense. Every year millions of babies are aborted, and thousands of children are murdered and no one seems to do anything about that to make it better and now Harriet Drummond thinks we need another law to kill sick people.

God created all people and he is the only one that has a right to take them home.

It’s time to stand up Alaska and take back our state, from people that can’t even work on the laws that we have. Let’s work on the abuse and murder of children and then see how you do. I can’t believe what our state has become. How sad.
