Parker gets it wrong on abortion

With regard to Star Parker’s Dec. 3 column, it should be known that I am not pro-abortion. However, I am pro-choice. There are too many situations out there where an aborted pregnancy is a better choice than carrying to term and delivering a non-viable fetus or one with severe birth defects.
Furthermore, there is no good reason for non-medical individuals making medical decisions for women.
Lastly, if Star Parker really believes that we could be in danger of "becoming a nation without children," she is sadly deluded.
