READER COMFORTABLE WITH BELIEFS, NOT OFFENDED BY OPPOSING VIEWS

by Luke Peling

When I first saw the anti-abortion advertisement with The Current (April 20) I assumed that some outside organization put it there without The Current's knowledge. I was pleasantly surprised to learn in this week's paper that it was actually done through The Current. In this age of political correctness I would hardly expect a college newspaper to voluntarily put anti-abortion literature in with its paper.

I wasn't surprised however by the negative response it received. If these people are so scared of a little piece of literature, they might need to reexamine their beliefs. I despise anyone who would suppress knowledge for their own good.

I'm impressed by this paper's willingness to allow its readers to see all sides of the story. Even though I am pro-life I would not be offended in the slightest if you ran some pro-choice literature. I am comfortable in my beliefs and am willing to look at both sides.
