...Sir: Has the President the right to appeal for unity on an issue that he feels is dangerously divisive without contending with a formidable array of soothsayers (all, strangely enough, with one voice) waiting to tell the populace to disregard the President and listen to them instead...

I sometimes wonder how many young girls "in trouble" have gone off to meet an abortionist in some warehouse -sometimes to bleed to death-because of the stupidity of the abortion laws. How many thousands of kids have gotten married because "they had to"? How many children were born into families where they just weren't wanted...
