LETTERS: ABORTION TAKES AWAY SOMEONE'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE

To the editor:

I've read about all I can stand about the right to choose and the uproar these women are in because they think John Ashcroft and George Bush are taking that right from them. Please let me address these women.

Ladies, please allow me to remind you it is not our right to deny anyone the right to life. That is God's area of expertise. You whine and complain that people are taking your right to choose away from you. Think, ladies. If that child you want to abort is a little girl, aren't you denying her the right to choose if, God forbid, she would want to have an abortion?

I have four daughters. I lost two children. And I have a grandchild on the way. They have all been a blessing to me. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill God's most precious gift. Think about this, ladies. If you kill one of the gifts from God, what makes you think he'll trust you with another one?
