Article shows only one side of abortion issue
I understand that I may be alone in feeling that a journalist is
to pursue subjects with some hint of actual interest. But "Choice
of a Lifetime," (News, April 9) besides having a catchy title,
bears absolutely no relevance to the college students that the
"newspaper" claims as its target audience.
Not only was this article without any revelations that a high
school freshman might have overlooked, but it seems
unenthusiastically written and supports no logical purpose. Was it
to inform? Where’s the information? Was it to detail a person’s
opinion or view? Whose? What Mara Schiavo-Campo has managed to do
is paint a perfect reason to condemn a woman for having an
abortion.
First there’s "Kianna" who manages to impregnate herself six
times, blame a member of the opposite sex for her indiscretions,
and not feel any remorse for her ill-judgment. And let’s not forget
"Pamela," who never bothered to use any form of birth control in
the first place.
It is hard not to judge these women for their lack of
intelligence and willingness to feel sorry for themselves.
