Blasts opponents of abortion
Web posted April 26, 1999
To bring a baby into the world that is wanted, loved and provided for is a joyful happening. To force a rape victim, a teen-age girl or an adult woman to have a baby is not acceptable in a civilized society. If all the men who are opposed to abortion were capable of getting pregnant every time they had sex, many of them would re-evaluate their position on the issue. Have you noticed that all of the hate and violence is on the side of anti-abortionists?
The language used by them can incite some people with unbalanced minds to consider themselves heroes if they bomb clinics and kill doctors who perform abortion. Let's hope it does not escalate to the point where pro-choice people use language that leads people with unbalanced minds to think that they will be heroes if they go out and kill the leaders of anti-abortion organizations.
If I believed that people who commit murder should receive the death penalty and I thought that having an abortion was murder then it would stand to reason that women who get an abortion and the doctor who performs it should get the death penalty. If you believe this, it is difficult for me to believe you are pro-life.
To overpopulate this planet due to our insatiable sex drive is sacrilegious.
Hoyt Goodson, Waynesboro
Editor, The Chronicle:
I would like to commend you for printing Ellen Goodman's column on April 20. It was one of the best articles I have read on the politics of abortion.
