Parental laws for abortion are not a good idea
Is the abortion for minors threatened?
The state parental notification law is not a good idea. Activists on both sides say that the new law is going to have a huge impact, they are right, but the impact is going to…
Abortion is not the solution to unwanted pregancies
“Grateful for program” (Letters, Oct. 12) is a sad example of liberals’ belief that abortion is the solution to unwanted pregnancies. Astonishingly, the author, “a woman and a nurse”, praises Washington University’s new program to train doctors to destroy…

Incensed by selective reporting
Kudos to Mike Newbury for his letter in the June 5, 2009 Post-Dispatch for his letter about the liberal media’s biased reporting. If radical pro-lifers are all Republicans, then all ecoterrorists are Democrats. I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but I…
