Choice, not humanity, issue for abortion rights advocate

I read your column on April 20, "Tune-out pesky campus distractions," with interest and sad bemusement. Humanity was never lacking in the choice debate. You are misinformed if you think that people on both sides don't wrestle with the decision. But the point is you and Sarah Palin missed the most important part of her painful and touching disclosure: She had a choice!

She had the choice to keep the child or to terminate the pregnancy, and that is the key. The problem with people like Sarah Palin is that they want to take that choice away from others. Where is the humanity in that?
