Regarding Jonah Goldberg's column on the abortion debate, pubished May 23, I feel compelled to voice my objection to his line of thinking. Prior to 1973, contraception was just beginning to emerge. Back then, a boy couldn't buy a condom without great difficulty and shame; now he can buy a condom in a grocery store without so much as a second look.
Letter: Don't buy the hype. Abortion isn’t needed thanks to medical advances
