Vile, Disgusting, and Pathetic Excuse for Journalism

RECEIVED Mon., Jan. 30, 2006

Dear Editor,
    Your cover photo of a spread-eagled woman with a Holy Bible shoved into her crotch is the most vile, disgusting, and pathetic excuse for journalism I have seen in a long time [“The New Texas Family Planning,” News, Jan. 27].
    It is one thing to express a political opinion in favor of abortion and against government sex education policies. It is quite another to promote the desecration of sacred objects as you did.
    Why is it only Christians that may be disparaged and attacked with impunity? You would never desecrate a Quran or Torah in such a way and this speaks volumes about your bigotry.
    You have reached new lows in cheap political stunts and you now, more than ever, do not deserve the title of journalists.
