Choice is more than just abortion

Dear Editor:

I want to commend Holly and Neal on the article entitled “Politics Invade Temple’s Main Campus: Part Two”. I know the subject matter they wrote on is very controversial, but I think they managed to get a pretty unbiased and well written article out of it. I also wanted to point out one thing that could have added value to the article. It had mentioned FMF, and TARRA, but neglected to mention Owls for Life. We are an official Temple group, with over 60 student members. We were recognized as an official group last Spring.

So thank you seeing both sides of the issue. At Owls for Life our motto is “Choice is more than just abortion. Give women real choices.” This includes information on health risks, and alternatives; as well as fighting for student day care programs, prenatal heath insurance coverage in student health plans, and housing for students with children. Because no woman should have to choose between her child and her education.
