I'nesday • Marchl Organization does not benefit all In response to John Burton’s and Michael Schaub’s Feb. 9 column. Abortion kills children. Period. If “up to 80% of Americans support a woman’s right to a safe and legal abortion,” then the majority of our nation supports murder, and you may always count me amongst “those who would have women re turn to the dark ages” of morality.
