In regards to Joseph O’Shaughnessy’s June 5 letter about abortion, I’ll make this very simple: The sentence he wrote twice to make sure it was clear is incorrect.

While he twice wrote “Sometimes abortion is exactly the right choice,” what he is really saying is, “Sometimes murder is exactly the right decision. Let me repeat that: Sometimes murder is the exactly the right decision.”

Well, must be fun playing God.
