Letters to the editor...Pro-abortionists `living in the dark ages'

Dear editor, Re: Resident appalled by right to life protest (Oct. 18, letter). Pro-Abortion people are living in the dark ages. As a pregnant woman, I can tell you first-hand the benefits of having a baby outweigh the consequences of having an abortion. Thirty years ago when they legalized abortion in Canada, they didn't have the technology (ultrasounds, Internet) that we have today to show a developing baby. The pain of postabortion syndrome and the physical danger (like death and complications in future conception) surely outweigh any possibility of abusive adoptive parents. I never chose my parents and I'll bet S. Harris never chose their's either, but adoption agencies do screen prospective parents and some allow the birth mother to participate in that selection process. I have seen joy in the faces of young girls who kept their babies and who knows, maybe one day, one of those babies may grow up to find the cure for AIDS. Now that's a good "choice".
