HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To the editors:
Annapurna K. Hill (Letters, Nov. 16) expresses her intention to make a financial contribution to "UHS's abortion fund." She reasons that this money is necessary to ensure that students make informed decisions regarding the continuation of their pregnancies. Unfortunately, her argument reverses the reality of the situation.
The medical costs of pre- and post-natal care far exceed the monetary price of an abortion. More often, pregnant mothers find themselves forced into abortions by a system which, out of expediency, funds the cheaper alternative. If Ms. Hill plans to contribute financially to UHS, then I urge her to direct her money to these underfunded and overlooked areas. ROBERT J. ORTIZ '00 Nov. 16, 1998
