LETTER: Anti-abortion exhibition is commendable, honest

February 20

I am writing to commend the anti-abortion presentation that was on campus on Monday. I think it is about time that people see the real faces of abortion, the innocent children that are brutally murdered. I know that a lot of women believe that anti-abortion protests are about taking away rights from women, but I don't think that is the case. It is about giving rights to those who cannot defend themselves.

COLUMN: Ectogenesis solution to abortion

February 20

The 18-foot tall anti-abortion display on campus this week is certainly attracting its share of attention. The gruesome photos were chosen to provoke disgust in any who see them, and they do this job well.

LETTER: Ignoring exhibit, abortion does not make it go away

February 20

Kudos to Justice for All and its exhibit on campus. While I am unable to see it myself, I'm glad to know that it's out there for other people to view. People so often talk about abortion rights and a woman's right to choose, yet they oppose the other side expressing opposite views.

LETTER: UNM shouldn't tolerate anti-choice ads

February 20

I have to disagree with the dean of students' disclaimer in Friday's Daily Lobo that claims that the University does not in any way support or affiliate itself with anti-choice groups.

LETTER: Pro-choice crowd's methods humorous

February 20

My favorite props of the week were the hangers. I thought it was so good to see all of these women supporting housework. Watching them wave their hangers around almost made me want to go and do laundry.

LETTER: Pro-lifers should save the living

February 20

Ahh, the sweet smell of hypocrisy has once again swept over our campus.

Opinion

LETTER: Seeking alternatives to graphic exhibit

February 20

As most of us have seen the controversial exhibit of the anti-freedom group ironically named "Justice For All," we ask ourselves about the idea of freedom. What does it mean and to whom does it apply? As liberals we believe in the freedoms that the Bill of Rights guarantees to all Americans, thus the right to express one's political beliefs even when they is wrong.

LETTER: Exhibit nauseating, has no place at UNM

February 20

Like many students at UNM, my Monday morning was greeted with a flagrantly disgusting series of images depicting abortion outside of Mitchell Hall. As for shock value, these people have certainly done their job well.

LETTER: Abortion exhibit is tasteless, but spawned helpful dialogue

February 20

As a pro-choice woman, I have a few comments to make regarding the display by Justice for All in front of Ortega Hall.

COLUMN: Campaign finance needs no reform

February 19

The long saga of campaign finance reform reached a turning point very early last Thursday as members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted 240 to 189 in favor of the Shays-Meehan Bill. The vote was the culmination of months of parliamentary wrangling and an epic 15-hour debate on the floor of the House. It also is one of the most egregious examples of the spineless and intellectually vacuous positions that the public and its representatives are apt to take regarding this issue.

Opinion

LETTER: Activists on both sides should support exhibit

February 19

So many people go out to support a cause or an idea and are completely oblivious to the outcome of the cause they support. Society determines what is acceptable. The people with the loudest voices are the ones who say what is and what isn't. Be it on me to speak about those on the contrary?

LETTER: Graphic fetus photos not

February 19

The look on my 2-year-old son's face when he sees a baby on TV or out in the world is really something to behold, as he delightedly points and yells "Baby!" Monday he and I were rolling around campus as usual. We got breadsticks at the Pizza Hut stand, then came out under Ortega Hall, heading for the library.

LETTER: Butler's analysis simplistic, wrong

In his own words, Lobo columnist Craig Butler describes his analysis of globalization as "simply put."

Regarding Richard Berthold's piece from Feb. 14, I'd like to know how much time Mr. Berthold has spent in Palestine, Israel or Iraq.

LETTER: U.S. should recognize we fit Bush's 'evil'

February 18

Like a lot of people around the world, I was deeply disturbed by the president's State of the Union Address and think that his reference to North Korea, Iran and Iraq as the axis of evil needs closer scrutiny.

Opinion

LETTER: Basketball team selfish, uncharitable

February 18

I commend Chris Maxwell for calling the UNM men's basketball program to task. Of course, the only response you'll get is a patronizing smile because you "don't understand the ins and outs of a major college sports program."

Opinion

LETTER: Reviewer unfair, disrespectful

February 18

Regarding the recently published review of "The All Night Strut," I am very much a believer that each person who attends a show has the right to form her own opinion of it. I also realize that as much as I would like it to happen, not every person will simply love every show presented by Musical Theatre Southwest. And this certainly holds true for the publicly shared opinions of the few reviewers in Albuquerque.

EDITORIAL: Exhibiting free speech

Controversy has found its home at UNM more than usual this academic year, and things are about to get interesting again this week.
