Editor, Ignorant men are the greatest threat to women's liberation. In regard to Benjamin Sanchez' moronic and insulting letter explaining how abortion is the greatest threat to women's liberation, I'd just like to remind him of one simple fact that perhaps has been overlooked by a lot of the abortion opponents: As a man, he and other men have no right to tell any woman what to do with her body.
