I was offended by the callous indignation of Brad Jones in his opinion article, “Abortion fliers inappropriate”.

Apparently, someone hung that symbol of women’s empowerment, the coat hanger, with a flyer attached to it, stating that women deserve better reproductive choices. (How much better can they get?)

Brad was irked, not at the violence suggested by the symbol, which he applauded, but because someone placed a flier at his door.

To Brad, the hanger found swinging outside his santuary was nothing more than a pizza menu, unofficially and unceremoniously attached to his door handle.

Those who have blessed the slaughter of so many unwanted lives went too far that day. They didn’t get approval to use coat hangers in their message. If they did get approval, that would have been fine.

But, because they didn’t get approval, it didn’t belong on his door, and that made Brad mad. Mad enough to write his letter.

Well, I’m mad too, Brad. Mortified, in fact, that so-called humans like you can’t see through the brutality that you’ll inflict on one of your own (young as he or she is) by using a coat hanger to tear it limb from limb.

Would somebody please think of Brad and keep the are outside his room clear? He gets the point. (And, so do the aborted.)

Brad’s message to the BU March Coalition: I’ll condone the abortions, but only if you keep the grotesque marketing out of my sight and out of my mind.
