The controversial discussion about pro-life and pro-choice dates back to the ruling of the famous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case and continues to be a topic of discussion in the twenty-first century. In your editorial, “No Choice rather than Pro-Choice,” in the July 10, 2015 issue of the Seattle Times, the topic of discussion was whether or not women should have the right to an abortion.

However, there is one war that is one of the most horrible and it has gone unnoticed. The topic of abortion has been going on for decades now, but most Americans do not recognize that it is truly a war, right here in our country.

You should consider another route, because the one that you are considering is dangerous for woman to consider and morally incorrect. I have provided essential examples to why abortion is a no, now it your decision to either listen or kill an unborn. Make a wise
