To the editor:This is for McLaughlin and all you teens who think that intercourse is going to make you the adult that you are not. First, for McLaughlin, a question. The knowledge about abortion is out there and it cannot be taken back or hidden away from society. So, which would you rather see, a woman going to a clinic to have it done safely or would you rather hear or read a story in the news about a woman being found dead in some back alley with a coat hangar sticking out of her? If a woman does have an abortion, then she has God to answer to, not you. And I believe it should only be allowed once and only once. And to all you young girls who are still just children, stop and think about what you are about to do before you engage in sex. And keep this thought in mind. It's not love you are experiencing, it's just fornication. You are debasing the holy act of procreation. I also feel that a 14-year-old should get permission before she gets an abortion.
