Why am I not surprised to see a man weighing in his opinion in favor of anti-choice? I found Cole [Buckon]’s guest letter completely tasteless and ignorant. “… the destruction of unwanted, inconvenient human beings.” A woman could be raped and get an abortion and you label that an ‘inconvenience.’
I also think you misunderstand the opinion of people who are pro-choice. No one who is pro-choice misunderstands the reality of an abortion. We are not naïve about what it looks like; we do not need enlarged photographs to inform of us of what abortion is.

The reason the photographs are a problem is because they can be extremely triggering. There are women on this campus who have had an abortion and seeing these photographs can be traumatic. There are also women on this campus who have had a miscarriage and seeing photographs can give them a very nice reminder of what they went through. Ultimately, Justice for All uses graphic photos to scare and manipulate students to accept their way of thinking.
Our cause is for privacy. Our cause is for respect. Our cause is for you to mind your own business. Our cause is protecting the right of women to make decisions about their body and to keep it between them and their doctor. Please feel free to join us in the 21st century and realize that we as men have no business telling women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies.

Evon Latrail did have an abortion and through her life after, and the regrets she faced, she wrote a song about it, no it doesn’t make her a hypocrite, it makes her human. I do believe abortion is ever the answer, I believe it to be a needless solution, however that’s not to say that their could be a situation where abortion is the only answer. But people have their own reasons for what they do, and they are free to make those decisions, it’s what we do as humans, we make life choices and reap the benefits, or the consequences.I believe that music and those around can influence the way you feel, or think, yes. Whatever the outcome, it was a decisions, right or wrong is not for anyone to say. As to what to do, I don’t know if the situation is resolved between you and your daughter, I would just approach her in truthfulness, it wasn’t her decision, it was your’s. As a Christian I believe that those we lose we will be reunited with, and so you will see your child some day in Heaven if you too believe as I do. Hope things are resolved between you and your daughter, life is to short for contention.
God Bless.
Attached is a song about an unsuccessful Saline Abortion, that the baby survived. The song is by Phil Keaggy, a Christian artist, but it is a very good song. Hope things are resolved between you and your daughter
