Contraception and Abortion

In response to “The Real Agenda: Sex Only for Procreation,” Commentary, Nov. 23: Elizabeth Holtzman’s article on the day after Thanksgiving proves what a short attention span we have.

How many people using contraceptives thank God for the protection devices they do have? How many of those who have taken advantage of abortion thank the powers that be for this freedom? How many men and women thank their gods for their lack of squalling, inconsiderate, selfish offspring? Let’s be grateful for the brats we don’t have and kill--excuse me--terminate the rest. Life is so much improved without them, right?
