Miss Aimee Peterson

This is in response to Aimee Peterson's letter ("Let kids be kids, not parents' clones," Feb. 9).

Peterson doesn't need to debate the abortion issue with a child, hence my letter.Discussing such an important issue of life and death with a woman quoting a songwriter stating that parents, teachers, religious leaders, etc., are subtly "murdering" children with thoughts "programmed" into their heads is pathetic.

Thinking for himself, my son, Nicholas, wrote the article to which Peterson re-sponded ("For grade-schooler, D.C. march a lesson," Jan. 28).

He is an honor student, who, believe it or not, chooses his clothes to wear, how to study, what sports to play, etc.And presented with all facts of the abortion issue, decided that, yes, abortion is murder of an unborn child.

Obviously, he touched a nerve.Good.

So, adult to adult, I'll spell it out in simple terms that Peterson can understand: Abortion is murder.

However, if a woman has either had or is considering an abortion and realizes that there are people and organizations such as Birthright and Mom's House to help her, she can make the only choice that is positive for her and her child, and that choice is life.
