Mom, daughterLetter To The Editor: Thought Point Of Planned Parenthood Was To Prevent Abortions
By TERRY GOLDMAN
Los Alamos
I’m not following Krohn: I thought the point of Planned Parenthood was to prevent abortions by helping to prevent unwanted pregnancies. If some group has a disproportionate rate of abortions, relatively more effort from Planned Parenthood is needed, not less.
Krohn seems to think that Sanger’s concern for minimizing the burdens on a then-poor society translate today into an effort to promote abortions.
However, while now there seems to be an almost universal agreement that abortion is the worst method of birth control, without it being available, the individual Read More

Letter To The Editor: Comparison Between Nazi Germany Policies And Abortion Is Offensive
By EDWARD BIRNBAUMThe comparison made between Nazi Germany policies and abortion (click here and here) is seriously flawed and is offensive to anyone who survived the Holocaust, or who has relatives or friends who did not.
The key difference is that no government agency is forcing anyone to obtain an abortion, in contrast to Nazi Germany, where the elected government forcibly relocated people to concentration camps, only to kill them in a variety of imaginative and horrible ways.
You may not like individuals choosing abortion as a means of dealing with their pregnancies, but no one Read More
Buying And Selling A Home Is A Dance
By CINDY HOLLABAUGH, President
Buying and selling a home is a dance. Your date to the dance is your Realtor®. Your Realtor® is going to want to meet you and get to know you and your housing needs. Your Realtor® will then take you to the dance.
The first of many dance partners will be your lender. If you are a buyer, it is always a good idea to talk to a lender prior to looking for a home so that you know what you can afford.
After you are approved for a mortgage and have found a home, you will start dancing with several different partners. These can include a title company, Read More
Pastor Granillo: Applied Wisdom
By PASTOR GRANILLOWe all know that every day, life happens. It happens in our homes, in our work, with our relationships, in our school, with our health, with everything that we know—life happens. And as life happens we are forced to make decisions that we know will impact the rest of how life happens.
How often have we made a decision just hoping we don’t mess things up worse than they already are? None of us want to make bad decisions, but all too often we do; and so we seek wisdom in various places, hoping to find the secret to good decision making.
Wisdom is how we think our knowledge should Read More

Voting Rights Act Turns 50 Thursday – Congress Must Restore Its Protections
LWVNM News:
Aug. 6 marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). This landmark civil rights legislation has protected voters from discrimination for nearly half a century.
The VRA is one of the most significant laws ever passed by Congress and it changed America. But today, the Voting Rights Act does not offer the same protections it did in 1965.
Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted key provisions of the VRA in its Shelby County v. Holder decision, weakening vital voter protections. Since then Congress has done nothing to repair the damage. Congress currently Read More
Letter To The Editor: Goal Must Be Nuke Free World
By PETER N. KIRSTEIN, professor of historyOn Aug. 6, 1945, an atomic bomb leveled Hiroshima. Three days later on Aug. 9, an atomic bomb destroyed the forgotten second city, Nagasaki. Atomic bombs shattered Japan 70 years ago at the end of World War II.
Perhaps 250,000 casualties perished as a result of the neutron bombardment of uranium 235 and plutonium 239 isotopes. The splitting of nuclei unlocked the mystery of the atom, unleashing heat, blast and radiation of unprecedented magnitude.
Several Scientists at the University of Chicago’s Metallurgical Laboratory (Metlab) signed Read More
Letter To The Editor: A Brief Response To Nazi Comparison Rebuttal
By DUSTIN JOHNSONI see little point in writing in my own words what others have said before (link), so I’ll just point people to this article: click here.
Too long, didn’t read: yes, Margaret Sanger had some views in common with the eugenics movement, but so did a lot of people at that time. That doesn’t deligitimize her other work. The rest of what Ms. Krohn said has been said a million times before by anti-abortion people and is, in short, completely and utterly false.
The statistics do not support her claims, and that quote is being used wildly out of context. Read More
