...back cover contains an account of one woman's experience of an abortion, with the requisite bold type and exclamation points, a style used more in diet advertisements than in journalism. The same woman who now counsels "youth groups and students about abstinence" had tried to get pregnant again after her own abortion. Nowhere in the story is there evidence of planning a family or creating a home...
...seen it before: Young, attractive, unwed girl gets pregnant. Overly-virile boy pledges undying love to her, which she cautiously reciprocates. Both sets of parents are horrified to no end. They want--at all costs--to put a stop to this unwholesome union. The Black Community and Student Theater's production of "Wedlock of the Gods," a Nigerian play by Nwazulu Sofola, treads very, very familiar ground in its dealings with a passionate relationship that is condemned by deeply rooted, traditional standards of moral conduct. But for those not familiar with West African culture, the show is enlightening and entertaining...

In fact I declared just the opposite: "Of course, I never smoked when I was pregnant." This is an outrage. You announced to the world that I cavalierly exposed my five children to the harmful effects of tobacco while I carried each in my womb. I am disappointed by such sloppy and unprofessional...
