In order to understand the ethics surrounding the abortion issue, there are two central questions which are determinative: (1) Do human beings possess intrinsic value? (2) Is the developing fetus a human being?
Editor, Speaking for the body of pro-lifers, we do not condemn nor hate women who have abortions or who believe in abortion. I am a woman, among many, who fights for the right that born and unborn human beings have to life.
Editor, And so yet another letter from a “pro-choice” person, Kendall Lovely, which completely ignores the people who have no choice in the abortion debate – the 5-month-old fetuses who have brains, hearts and the ability to hear their mothers’ voices and heartbeats.
Editor, Whoever pays the fiddler usually calls the tune. When a “scientific” study comes out saying that coffee is not harmful, always ask who paid for that study. Follow the money trail. If anyone who makes money off coffee helped pay for that study, do not swallow the claimed results as truth.
Editor, When I am asked how old I am, the answer I prefer to give is that I do not know. The reason I prefer that answer is because I know that I am not my physical body, but something other than my physical body that entered what became my physical body at what we refer to as “conception.”
Editor, There’s this idea that “pro-choice” is equivalent to “pro-abortion.” As if women think to themselves, “Oh, absolutely, I love invasive surgical procedures that might also make me sad.” Yeah, that’s not how this works.
Editor, As a farm boy teenager in Illinois, I was addicted to television. I foolishly wasted hundreds of precious hours and I poisoned my mind watching violent programs. But I have owned no TV in Albuquerque since I first moved here 43 years ago. We can wake up, we can wise up, we can change.
Editor, I’m an exchange student from Italy. During my stay in New Mexico I’m trying to use this opportunity to figure out how Americans act in everyday life, as opposed to stereotypes and what comes from movies and broadcasting.
Editor, I am a student who, with the increase of the Bridge to Success Scholarship standards of a 3.0 GPA and a 23 ACT score, would have still been able to get the scholarship, and I write to tell you that not all of us are made equal.
Editor, You must wear a seatbelt. You must stop at a red light. You can’t drink alcohol and drive. You can’t talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time without a hands-free device. You must be 21 years old to drink alcohol.
Editor, Dr. Sandra Penn’s letter, “Vote ‘no’ on abortion restriction measure” found in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, is nothing more than an attempt at the continued promulgation of genocide, dressing it up in the guise of “scientific detachment.”
Editor, Almost always when something new is undertaken, such as the Healthcare.gov website, there are unanticipated problems that require more time and effort than was initially scheduled. Here are two examples that occurred in my life.
Editor, My life has been dedicated to the practice of medicine and working to ensure the health of my community. I have been a physician since 1978, completing my residency in 1981 at Bernalillo County Medical Center, now University of New Mexico Hospital.
Editor, In his column on Monday, Joe Wagner stands courageously on his moral high ground, criticizes name calling, and declares he won’t be “bullied into compliance with… boogey-man idioms.”
Editor, For the sake of the people of Albuquerque, who deserve to know the truth about the upcoming election to ban late term abortion, let’s set the record straight.
Editor, In Joe Wagner’s column, printed in Monday’s Daily Lobo, the author’s gratuitous use of the word “one” left me wondering which “one” he was talking about. Also, the author has another troubling, but expected issue: the meaning of redistribution of wealth.
Editor, No matter how long since I have had sex with anyone, no matter how horny I am, I have no right to rape anyone ever. It is far better for me never to have sex with anyone for the rest of my life than for me to force anyone to have sex with me.
Editor, As a graduate of the University of New Mexico, I feel impelled to write my feelings regarding the Bridge to Success Scholarship, whose prospective changes are being challenged by some within and outside the University community.
Editor, I agree with Jason Darensburg that Americans should seek out other countries to live in, I know I am. The primary reason is because of the complete infection of progressivism that has paralyzed this country.
Editor, Many adults get rich off poisoning kids’ bodies and minds. Many churchgoers are horrified when kids kill kids and old people, but these are the same churchgoers who have no conscience against paying Uncle Sam tax dollars to kill kids and old people in other nations.
