I know a lot has changed since 9-11, but how does that hideous attack upon America make terrorists out of women, their doctors and planned parenthood service providers? Women who maintain a just and legal right to chose when they want to have a baby are not terrorists. Often they are more responsible, loving and caring than women who have babies they can not afford to rear, provide for or wish to love.

Yes, a lot has change since 9-11, but since when did drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse turn from a disease into forms of terrorism? When did gambling or its associated suicide come to be equated with terrorism? Indeed, when did all of social injustice come to be associated with terrorism?

We can not let the terrorist of 9-11 distort our perception and arouse our emotions to act with ignorance or illogic in regard to every social injustice which plagues our nation. To do so would be cowering to fear mongers and those who pander superstition and ignorance as do the terrorist murder and mayhem.

Those who bomb family planning clinics, who send powder laced letters through the mail to these clinics, who harass and shot doctors providing a demanded service to women in need, are the real terrorist with respect to this issue. They who do these deeds and call themselves Christians or among the "Army of God," are as satanic and evil as the
9-11 Muslim terrorists!

Neither Christians nor Muslims can justify their evil deeds as being done in the name of God or Allah. Whatever your faith society is not served well by turning to terrorism to effect social change. God may work in mysterious ways, but it is through works of love and good deeds, not through terrorism, that society is best served. Calling everything from drug abuse to abortion a form of terrorism is not love; it is one more form of terrorism!

Sincerely,
Terry Lynch
