Some people would and write nasty articles than Secondly, are we to believe state, or even our nation, are not. There are millions acr similar to this one who h? abortion. The article was wi posing arguments. I have al reporting. The fact that this not excuse such reporting. Uod TO THE EDITOR You should be proud to have "Meddlers March" for you against abortion. The USC Students for Life should be commended for standing up for what they believe in. These students obviously see abortion for what it really is and not what society would like it to be. Abortion cannot be justified, at least not in a Christian's eyes, because it is the takint? nf a lifp? Rut society wants us to think otherwise. Since our society has become so permissive Editoria TO THE EDITOR I fnnn/1 if frv m. av/uuu u uaiu iw uciicvc that you would submit such a poorly written article concerning the March for Life.
