What Exactly Is Wrong With the Cover?

RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 3, 2006

Dear Editor,
   Why is everyone so offended by last week's cover ["The New Texas Family Planning," News, Jan. 27]? Using phrases like "spread-eagled woman" or "bible shoved in her crotch" ["Postmarks," Feb. 3]. I'm sorry, but if any man has ever had to go with his wife/girlfriend to her yearly ob-gyn appointment, that's what it looks like. Women deal with that "spread eagle, crotch showing" position every year (or they should). I guess that’s why most of the complaints were from men or pro-life people. Go figure.
