LETTER: Ectogenesis not a practical solution to abortion debate
February 25Craig Butler's Feb. 20 column, "Ectogenesis solution to abortion," is off the mark.

EDITORIAL: Mourning a fallen hero
February 25Despite working in a trade that, at times, has been about as well-respected as ambulance-chasing lawyers, thousands of people throughout the world mourned the death of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl last week.

People who are disgusted by exhibit are missing the irony
February 22I opened the Lobo this morning to find it full of letters from angry and disturbed students protesting the Justice for All exhibit. Words like "distasteful," "negative," "nauseating" and "hypocritical" were used liberally to describe the exhibit.

LETTER: Martinez's tactics not Republican
February 22This small note is in regards to the letters written by an individual who claims to be a Republican and Catholic.

What we don't know might hurt
February 22The saying, "What we don't know can't hurt us," must have been said by a man who had a lot to hide. There is a new version of this saying, embodied in how our society produces mountains of wasted paper as forests disappear and people get sick. What we don't know, or care to know, does not seem to matter until we lose our jobs to people who relish in greed.

LETTER: Pro-life view one-sided
February 21Here we are again at another crossroad in the debate of free speech. I support the right of pro-life organizations to present their side, but I am disgusted that they use scare-tactics and present false information to convey their point. Furthermore, I have a problem with the tolerance the University has given this exhibit, and I would like to point out several reasons why.

COLUMN: Wars for democracy ironic
February 21One of the predominant missions of the United States since it became an imperialist power at the turn of the 20th century has been to proliferate democracy. Understandably, this mission is flexible, as the exigencies of global politics sometimes put democracy on the backburner.
Opinion
LETTER: Abortion display extremist
February 21The "display" on UNM is another example of radical extremism demonstrating total ignorance. The graphic depictions of aborted fetuses are nauseating and repulsive, just like many radical ideologies that fail miserably to address true justice and fairness.
Opinion
LETTER: Whole point of debate is control over one's body
February 21Pro-choice, pro-life. Everyone seems to think the issue solely concerns a woman's right to control her own body and a fetus' - let's call it what it is people - right to life.

LETTER: Anti-abortion group should be more positive
February 20I have several comments to make on the anti-abortion exhibit that has come to UNM. I walked past it on Monday and felt nauseated. The images I saw were simply distasteful.
Opinion
LETTER: Government shouldn't thrust views upon us
February 20In reading Adrian Martinez's letter in Tuesday's Daily Lobo denouncing those who protest the current display of Justice for All, I can say I agree with only one thing: The group should be allowed to voice their opinion.
Opinion
LETTER: Anti-abortion exhibition is commendable, honest
February 20I 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 20The 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 20Kudos 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.
Opinion
LETTER: UNM shouldn't tolerate anti-choice ads
February 20I 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.
Opinion
LETTER: Pro-choice crowd's methods humorous
February 20My 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.
