KEEP CHOICE IN THE WOMAN'S HANDS

I DON'T THINK Debbie Spencer (letter, Jan. 29, "Pro-choice equals pro-abortion") should be labeling another woman's perspective on this issue "warped."

I am certainly not pro-abortion, and I don't know one sane woman who is. I do know that many women in this country have strived long and hard to earn privileges and rights given us by our government. Ms. Spencer may not care about her right to choose what happens to her body; others do!

No one is trying to murder or slaughter anything. We are just trying to keep a very personal right of choice where it belongs: in each individual woman's hands! SHAUN DREHER ROANOKE
