ABORTION AND BOMBING

How dare Martin Tenkle (letter, May 16) compare the Oklahoma City bombing to abortion. Abortions are legal. Bombing a federal building is not legal.

Second, women can choose for themselves whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Whoever constructed the bomb did not ask the mothers of the kids at the day care center if they wanted their children to perish.

Finally, abortions are performed by trained and licensed doctors on women who chose the procedure. Bombing results in massive death and destruction. Bombers aren't licensed or professional, their goal is to create havoc.
