n Peter Smallcomb argues the right to live, but what about the right to continue your education, the right to not bring a child into this world who will go to social services or foster parents and end up chained to a bed like the 3-year-old who was found yesterday or the right to not bill the country for your, your partner’s or your condom’s unfortunate mistake or breakage (‘Right to choose ignores right to life,” Jan. 28, pg. 11)? While I agree that abortions should not be used as a backup plan or an alternative to birth control, the option is a necessary one to have in our democratic system.
