LETTERS: HARASSMENT ISN'T LEGAL; ABORTION IS

To the editor:

Some ranting anti-choicer, who obviously knows of my belief that the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be left up to the female, shouted out angry words to me from a vehicle recently.

Every time anti-choicers act like this, from verbal street harassment to more serious wounding and killing of doctors who perform abortions, they show clearly it is not life they are so interested in preserving.

Making tougher abortion laws means poor women will die again, as they used to before abortion was legal. This means anyone who is anti-choice is indeed not pro-life.

To try telling women what to do about such a private matter is reminiscent of one of the best dictators of all: Adolph Hitler.

Abortion is legal. Harassment is not.
