Letter to the Editor Loyola Maroon
May 8, 2013
Recently, we were made aware of an article that appeared in the Loyola Maroon in late April. In it Stewart Sinclair described in detail the abortion that his unnamed girlfriend suffered through after jointly deciding to terminate their unwanted pregnancy.
The first reaction was one of grief and compassion for the young girl. However the way the article was written appears not to seek compassion or sympathy but to make a political statement. The writer chooses to tell us that the abortion took place on Good Friday. Then he vows to put aside the position of his church and enthusiastically join with his” liberal friends” in their crusade to promote the “right to choose”. Since he complains about the cost, one is left to assume that he expects the university’s health care system or the public to pay for it regardless of their religious convictions.
Why does the Maroon grant center stage to this student to espouse his value system, which is diametrically opposed to that of the Catholic Church, without granting a rebuttal in the same publication? Obviously censorship by the university is not allowed nor do we encourage it. However good judgment in an inflammatory situation is a necessary requirement in every organization including the press. Since the next print publication is not until late August we feel compelled to offer a rebuttal now.
