Boycott the 'Chronicle'!
RECEIVED Tue., Feb. 7, 2006
Dear Editor,
The picture on the cover of your January issue is absolutely horrid [“The New Texas Family Planning,” News, Jan. 27]. I am a parent of two young children and am only glad when I saw this on the stand in open sight to all, they were not with me. However, while I stood looking at this cover in horror at least 15 younger children did come by and see it. Two adolescent boys thought is was funny but the impression is already there. I am a Christian but I am also pro-choice and can tell you the only thing you are accomplishing is alienating people like me from the pro-choice cause. I will never be associated with that type of shock value. I am disgusted and will no longer pick up the Chronicle, no longer vote in the polls, and not only that, but have sent an e-mail out to 15 people I know who feel the same as I, asking them to boycott the Chronicle as well. I can not even begin to tell you as a mother how much your choice to put that picture on the cover totally disgusts me and many like me.
