This is in response to Torie Bosch's column ("Morning-after pill needs to be OTC for young women" Wed., Oct. 27) concerning the morning-after pill. You write that the pill could "prevent a fertilized egg from implanting itself in a woman's womb," (thus causing abortion) but that "it is impossible, however, to codify spiritual beliefs." Your statements blow my mind because you refer to simple, documented, scientific fact, but then refer to them as spiritual: The process of a child embedding in his or her mother's womb and growing there for 9 months is no doubt a spectacular feat, but has no need of being labeled as spiritual. From conception, that tiny human has every right to exist like you and I. This is not an arbitrary spiritual belief, it is the truth. It is both ignorant and abominable to dehumanize him because of his small size or level of development. The solution to unwanted pregnancies and abortions can only be solved by respecting human life and sexuality. Condoms, abortion, birth control pills, and the morning-after pill don't get to the root of these problems, they only hide the consequences of our bad choices with a guise of popular acceptance.
