Dear FRONTLINE,

It seems telling to me that the "pro-life" activists were shown outside the clinics, but not the pro-choice activists. This is not a mere reflection of the attack on abortion rights "flying below the radar." It is also a reflection of how the right has grapsed the importance of community in political action. With unions all but dead and attendance at more liberal churches and synagogues still in decline, there is little attempt any where organize liberal/progressive activist communities. We are losing the right to choose, and so much more, because we are losing touch with each other and have no community to offer those looking for it.

Dear FRONTLINE,

I think that the abortion regulations and restrictions existing in some states are just a way of making it as hard as possible for young women to get an abortion without going over the unconstitutional line. Abortions, much like AIDS testing, are personal and should be kept private. The fact that most states require consent from one or both parents is ridiculous.
