 Abortion
is a sensitive topic around this campus, as it is everywhere in
this country. There are many people who feel it is morally wrong,
while their opposition preaches womens rights and the right
to choose. On the sidelines there are those who feel there is
not a right answer.
All parties in such a sensitive matter can make valid points and
have the right to voice their opinions, no matter what stance
they choose to take.
Opinions can be expressed in a poor manner however, as was the
case in a recent incident.
When the Oct. 24 issue of The Appalachian circulated last Thursday,
it included an advertising supplement from the Human Life Alliance
titled The Silent Epidemic.
The 12-page insert included testimonials and
articles addressing the abortion issue from a pro-life standpoint.
Shortly after The Appalachian was released,
a female student was seen inside Plemmons Student Union removing
the insert from newspapers on the racks. It is unclear whether
this student acted alone or was part of a larger group.
