Columnist hit nail on head

Dear Editor:

After reading columnist Alex Berezow's recent column Abortion: whose rights are at stake? I felt the need to respond. Mr. Berezow's argument was very well articulated, but I think he hit the nail on the head when he said both sides on the abortion issue wouldn't be swayed.

Therefore, I won't go on a tangent regarding my pro-choice beliefs because I'd either be preaching to the choir or speaking to a brick wall. However, there are some issues that need be discussed. Berezow used the term "American Holocaust," surely much to the chagrin of any of his Jewish pro-choice readers. How about we talk about the American Holocaust of the Native Americans, or the current massacre unfolding in Iraq or the killings of abortion clinic doctors at the hands of right-wing zealots? These are issues much more deserving of your inches.
