I was badly misquoted in the Daily Ne
braskan's article on the Walk for Life. I
never said that the fetus is not alive. Of
course it is alive. That has nothing to do
with the issue, which is whether the fetus
should have the legal status of a human
being. I do not think it should. Further.
I am quoted as saying the Unitarian Church
is in favor of selective abortion. It would
be more accurate to say that its members,
on the whole, support a woman's right to
make decisions regarding her body and re
production. Charles D. Claiborn
Conception is point
In the debate between "Pro-Life" and
"Pro-Choice" the Pro-Lifers are for the un
born baby's right to lie ami the Pro-Choice
people are for the mother's right to a
choice. Both groups have a valid point and
both are basically right, but neither group
is addressing the main point. The main
point is: When does a mother's right to a
choice end and the unborn baby's right to
life begin. It seems to me that this change
occurs at conception. That with the act of
conception the mother has made her
choice. She has forfeited her "right to
privacy" and accepted the responsibility of
carrying the baby for the full term.

Apology to Iran
Amidst the celebration of the release of
the hostages, let's try to understand why
they were taken, and then see if we have
reason to celebrate.
Iran, you have my most sincere apolo
gies.

Choice means freedom
I hadn't been involved. The thought
hadn't even occured to me until 1 started
talking to a friend working in a pro-choice
booth. Legislating whether a woman may
or may not have an abortion is legislating
choice, one of our freedoms.
That's funny. I thought our country was
conceived primarily for freedom of choice.

Story questionable
The Daily Nebraskan has obviously
stooped to a new low with Mary Kempkes'
front page article in the Wednesday, Jan.
21, edition of the Daily Nebraskan. I really
can't sympathize with those who have to
"grow their own" to support their habit.
Furthermore, the indepth report on these
marijuana users including the fascinating
picture, was very informative for those
of us who don't know the going prices of
marijuana. I now know how to grow my
own marijuana plants and what to do to
get a better "high." Lack of coverage of
more newsworthy events, especially on the
front page, plus being subjected to reading
about the sad financial plight of the mari
juana user makes me seriously question the
need to increase the Daily Nebraskan's
budget next year.
