Brian Blase's column "Abortion may not be a non-punishable act in the future" was a fair, informative discussion regarding the controversial issue of abortion. While it was obvious to discern Blase's position on this subject, he took into account the opposing side as well and respectfully stated his opinion.

His claim that "the pro-lifer risks his error on the side of human life" is especially true and may be an eye-opening statement to those who consider themselves pro-choice. While it is not anyone's right to judge another's actions regarding reproductive health and the abortion issue, I agree with Blase's hope that in the future Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

It is ridiculous that in today's modern society, with a wide variety of types and methods of birth control designed to prevent pregnancy, that abortion is even seen as necessary. If more couples took the responsibility to actively seek out the various available methods of protection, then fewer women would be faced with the difficult decision of whether to have an abortion in the first place.
