My friend from Oregon is visiting this week, and as I'm replying to Morgan
Watkins' article he'd like to say a few words:

Guido:
Now, I think it's really great that all you people take such a
vivid interest in the issue of abortion but I think that the topic
needs to be put into proper perspective. Think for a moment what
you're talking about here. You're talking about the life of a human
fetus inside its mother. The mother bears the responsibility for
the fetus and is therefore the one who should decide its future (or
the lack thereof). She is the only one physically and immediately
affected by the abortion issue and therefore logically the most
qualified to decide on it.
I think it really interesting to see all these religious leaders
make grandiose statements and proclamations on the issue of abortion.
They are in fact stating that the mother has nothing to say whatsoever
on the issue. I would like to see what those same religious leaders
would have to say if women were to start campaigning about some issue
concerning male bodies. You can let your imagination play with that
for a while. To clear things up here, I am not a woman. I do think,
however, that abortion is a woman's choice by sheer virtue of the fact
that she is the one most directly affected by the issue and the
consequences thereof. Therefore, I feel that those males who
make grandiose and self-righteous proclamations on the issue are being
facetious and sexist. We should give the mothers the freedom of choice.
