TO THE EDITOR:
I found the fifth comment on last week's kvetching board (""I'm pro-life" and a man to boot but after seeing the travesty on the quad" I want to have an abortion just to spite Carolina Students for Life"") incredibly offensive.
It was blatantly disrespectful and showed no understanding of women who find themselves in such a position where they might consider an abortion.
He took a serious issue and inappropriately made light of it.
It wasn't funny. It wasn't clever. It shed no new light on the situation.
His opinion provided no benefit to anyone. Whatever his purpose in writing it was" the only purposed he served was to offend every single one of his female readers (at least all the ones that I spoke to found this comment out of line regardless of their opinion on abortion).
DTH" you say you edit ""for space" clarity accuracy" and vulgarity.""
This man didn't use any four letter words" but his comment was plenty vulgar. Editors do better next time.
