Individuals free to make their own choices

In response to Charles Becker’s letter on Feb. 26 [“Saddened by 40 years of legal abortion”], I have to say I was rather angry about the overly-biased terms and use of his religion as if it was something that validated his point. I couldn’t help but to repeatedly glance down at the printed First Amendment just below his letter of religious propaganda.

Abortion is a right possessed by a woman and will remain as such. Charles failed to mention that a fetus is both scientifically, and legally, lacking qualities that make it an actual human. I understand the controversy over the subject, but an acorn is not a tree, and an egg is not a chicken.

Mr. Becker also went on to argue in favor of “traditional marriage,” a term used to disguise one person’s prejudice as if it were a noble cause.
