Being Pro-Life Means Nurturing Children as Well

Dear Editor,
   Thank you Chronicle for your coverage of the assault on women's rights ["Women Dig In," News, Dec. 5]. I notice as usual it's primarily men-initiated (including the critical letters last issue) ["Postmarks," Dec. 19]. As a mother of two wanted children I have little time to be an activist. I daresay if women historically weren't swamped with the privilege of bearing and nurturing children we would have equal voice, equal rights, and equal visibility in history books. I appreciate the notice of the march on Washington, D.C., in April. I will be there. As far as I am concerned anyone who dares to dick tate to me the destiny of my womb and my future had better already have an adopted child. Where are these pro-lifers when children are starved and tortured, or killed? Killings by mothers (always wives of fundamentalists who gave them no reproductive choice I notice) are the most tragic of all. It's the 20th-century fascists, wake up and drop the oppression already.
