Abortion laws must be consistent
By Mark LaBelle | Dec. 4, 2007I am writing in response to Tuesday's letters to the editor. Wylie Green's proposal that "we can have it both ways" when it comes to abortion is ridiculous. Anti-abortion Americans and abortion-rights Americans are diametrically opposed to one another.
