...panicky criticism of Harvard Right to Life (HRL) by Arianne R. Cohen ’03 (Column, “‘Little Natalie’: A Poster Fetus for Intimidation,” Dec. 16) is the most ridiculous column I have read since her gender theory of terrorism 15 months ago.

Every year there are three million unplanned pregnancies in America, half of which go to term, as HRL would like. And every year, there are hundreds of thousands of these same babies in America with no place to go, floating from foster home to foster home in an under-funded and understaffed social services department that amounts to mass child neglect. (Florida lost a few kids altogether this year...
