THE TORCH (\ \OPMONS AND NEWS September 11, 1992

I write in response to Mr. Matt Hayworth's opinion piece in the September 4th editon of The Torch. Important points are made concerning Mr. Hayworth's decision to accept a "pro- choice" view of abortion, particularly in reference to his observation that the pro-choice advocacy attempts to reduce numbers of abortions through education about birth-control. This is con­ trasted by the "pro-life" movement's influence by Catholics and other religious forces who, he claims, are less disposed to such education, and therefore offer no real solution to abortion out­ side of making it illegal. These are valid observations, but Mr. Hayworth's analysis falls short Dear Editor, upon further exploration. As a Catholic, I can say the Holy Father is out of step SOCIALLY with most Catholics in I read Erik Varncss' column and my first reaction was to the developed world when it comes to contraception (though he remains correct DOCTRJNAL- laugh at the apparent absurdity of the situation.

He writes, "I could accept a 'pro-life' machinists, sales people and doctors, artists and teachers.

Mr. But I don't want this to simply be a defense of the people in Valpo.

Diversity has become a policy here at VU. It's time we all Mr. Hayworth fails to see other reasons to make abortions illegal. If we accept abortion as wake up and accept the wonderful reality that there are all sorts of the termination of even only a potential life, and if we accept laws as an identifying mark of any people in the world who are very different from us. What we must culture, what do our laws allowing abortion say about our culture? Perhaps another clear reason realize is that just because they're different it DOES NOT mean to make abortions illegal is to expunge from this society those laws that stain us with the blood of they are worse or better. It simply means they are different. What all aborted fetuses. This goes way beyond simply trying to reduce abortion numbers; it seeks to an exciting possibility! What a terrific opportunity! That's what we elevate the society, which is quite noble and worthy. This even provides us with an answer to the need to be focusing on as we welcome each other back to Valpo. fear about back-alley abortions and suicides: So what if there are women so foolish as to make such decisions.
