Thank you for publishing "My word" by Maria Santo titled "Murder is not condoned by civilized societies; abortion should be illegal." Her article is a well-expressed argument of the biological facts concerning conception and the terrible toll that abortion brings to the individual and our country.
There are life-affirming solutions to unplanned pregnancies which should be stressed to the mother. She then will not have to live with the guilt of having killed her baby.
