Show Page 3A South Edition Lakeside Review Wednesday, February 8, 1984 Letters to Editor Interfere Review Editor: This year is the 11 th anniversary of the Supreme Courts decision to allow a woman to decide if she wants to have an abortion. Since then the Right to Life group has waged an ongoing battle to get the law changed. They have called these people' murderers, among other things. Now they have branched out into such areas as baby Jane Doe - a baby born so congenitally deformed as to be almost a vegetable. Since her parents have decided not to allow her to have an operation that would prolong her life past the age of two, the Right to Lifes want to have them removed as her guardians and have someone appointed who would force her to have the operation. I think its about time that these Right to Lifers stop and realize that the decision to allow a child to die, born or unborn, or even an adult for that matter, is not arrived at on the spur of the moment. It is an agonizingly painful decision that is arrived at after much soul searching and expert medical advise. It is a decision that will stay with and haunt parents for the rest of their life. It is a hard enough decision without someone else sticking their nose in and trying to take the decision away from them, just because theyre a bleeding heart. "" they can even afford that.

Such as: Why do they want a law passed that would send a woman to prison if she has an abortion or in someway causes the loss of a fetus, but they never say anything about parents who beat their child to death, even when they get off with a slap on the wrist or a six month jail sentence. Doesnt that child have a Why do they constantly argue against abortion, and yet they have a fit when we try to teach sex education in the class room, and they want Planned Parenthood closed for not notifying parents when a minor comes in for birth control information. Doesnt that child have a Right to Life without fear of having another child thats unwanted? Why do they not say anything about a. child dying because his parents cant afford a $100,000 operation to save his life, and the hospital is more concerned about their money than they are about his life. Isnt that child entitled to a Right to Life? Why do they not say anything about the hundreds of thousands of children who are starving in the United States alone.
