In a recent television ad, Darren Bailey said that he stands with President Donald Trump. That means he stands with the rioters on Jan. 6 that tried to overthrow our democracy and murder the vice president and speaker of the House. Watch the videos again if you have forgotten the horrors of that dark day in American history. Our country almost went away. Bailey is not fit to hold any office.

To Guy from Oak Lawn, I have a solution to the abortion issue. At the age of 14 every male should get a vasectomy. After that if they want to impregnate a woman, they have to sign a form and the woman has to sign a form that they are willing to actually accept the baby into their life and that they will raise it properly.

So disgusted with “Grey’s Anatomy” episode, all about sex showing young kids easy aspects to it. No wonder there’s so much pregnancy with the teens and abortion. Is nothing sacred anymore? Awful program. I’ll never put it on again. Somebody should do something about it.

Joan, Orland

Guy from Oak Lawn, do you know of anyone that actually supports abortion? Sounds like you don’t support freedom of choice? Or only your choice matters. Do you realize that these are two related but separate issues? Have you announced to your family your views on preventing the need or want to even consider abortion?

Anyone whose mind wasn’t already made up about who to vote for governor of Illinois should have watched the recent candidates’ debate. Darren Bailey’s performance was disgusting. His interruptions and body language were unprofessional, if not childish. His responses to moderators often had nothing to do with the question and he often had little specific resolution to any problem. The topper is that he called Gov. J.B. Pritzker the most divisive person in Illinois when it is Bailey that actually has promoted the secession of Downstate from the Chicago area!

Would someone please tell me what they’re doing regarding mass production of electric cars, but no one’s doing anything regarding the electric grid?
