Dear Editor,
The most daunting challenge facing our world today is not nuclear proliferation or depletion of the ozone layer or even the destruction of our rain forests. While they are certainly topics that need our vigilance, the most important suffocating venue in our society today is overpopulation.
Half the people in Afghanistan can neither read nor write. Similar conditions exist in third world countries all over the planet.
During the few minutes it takes you to read these words there will be hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of adorable little boys and girls who will be ushered into this life by well-meaning mommies and daddies who cannot provide food, clothing or housing not to mention education.
What chance do these beautiful little things have? Slim to none.
Each day the breach between the “haves” and “have nots” is widening.
It should be obvious to all that this distance must be reduced if we are to survive.
Do the anti-abortionists think that we are insensitive and uncaring? Of course we care!
I feel the same way about abortion that I do about war. Both are deplorable and dehumanizing acts but sometimes they are neccessary.
What kind of world do we intend to leave for our children and their children?
We have made quantum leaps in science, medicine, technology, nutrition and etc., but we are woefully inadequate in dealing with our most dominant social problem.
Oh yes, our world will stumble along and survive some diminished capacity for perhaps a couple of hundred years, and then we will be confronted by a vast army of “have nots” demanding equality. They will get it too!
By sheer weight of numbers they will engulf us all. They are already on the march. Think about it. This is the real reason we are pro-choice.
