This speech (which begins at 35:00) is why I support Donald Trump. He pulls no punches. Hillary Clinton is a despicable human being. Would any other Republican candidate tell the truth about her? Can you imagine John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, or Marco Rubio telling the truth about her? Thank God for Donald.

To the Editor:

Re “How to Get an Abortion in Texas,” by Valerie Peterson (Op-Ed, June 15), about how Texas’s onerous rules on abortions compelled her to fly to a Florida clinic after a dire fetal diagnosis:

As an obstetrician, I found Ms. Peterson’s story distressing. Nowhere in my medical training was I taught how to circumvent needless barriers to care. I was never schooled on booking last-minute plane tickets, or giving financial advice so that my patients could get safe, legal medical care.

Women deserve better than this. They deserve compassion, respect and dignity in making decisions about their health care. They deserve to have honest, medically driven conversations with their physicians. They should spend their time processing such a difficult diagnosis, grieving with family and healing from such a loss.

Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, or TRAP, laws, such as H.B. 2 in Texas, do nothing to improve safety and health. It is time for the Supreme Court to strike down this sham law. It has nothing to do with the practice of medicine; it simply gets in its way.

Note from KBJ: Killing babies has nothing to do with the practice of medicine. Those who kill babies are murderers, plain and simple, and should be punished accordingly.

Jeffrey Lord is with Donald. Are you?

Not everyone who writes for National Review suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. By the way, I rarely read Victor Davis Hanson. His columns are twice as long as they should be. Windy prose is a sign of undisciplined thought.

You might want some tissue handy.

Some of you will recall that I'm reading the 10-volume Encyclopedia of Philosophy (second edition) at the rate of two pages per day. I've been at it since 24 April 2007. Today I finished the letter "S." Among the entries I've read are:

I read the two pages first thing in the morning. It takes about 15 minutes.

If this man had his way, Jeb Bush would be well on his way to being defeated by Hillary Clinton. Why would he think that Bush would suffer a fate different from either John McCain or Mitt Romney?

This man thinks humans care more about animals than they should. I think he cares less about animals than he should.
