Gosh, I have so many more
things to tell Mike Cross about
sodomy, I scarcely know where
to begin.
Sir. in many states sodomy
refers not only to anal inter
course. to which you made
reference in your letter, but ad
ditionally to those sexual prac
tices which have prevented
many a teen-age pregnancy,
fellatio and cunnilingus (look
'em up).
This definition depends, of
course, on whether these acts
are enjoyed in a heterosexual or
a homosexual/lesbian context.
(In the case of the latter, in fact,
not only are no anuses involv
ed, no penises are either.) I am
quite certain that most of us
would not like to have our ac
cess to these practices curtailed
by law — as they still are in
other parts of the country and
the world.
Far be it for me to presume
that you will like the idea of
these titillations any better than
you like the idea of sodomy —
but then the world doesn’t
revolve around the idea of what
you like, does it? You can com
fort yourself with the
knowledge that you can shelter
yourself from ever having to
engage in any of these. Safely
sheltered, perhaps you will
someday manage to get them
out of your mind.

At base, Mike, you are attack
ing not just one act of which
you disapprove, but the whole
idea of sexual freedom among
consenting adults. It breaks my
heart that you feel the need to
do this. I suspect it hurts you
more than it hurts me.

Moral choice
A recent letter by Michael
(’mss contains some absolutely
ridiculous statements. For ex
ample: One paragraph
‘‘enlightened” us to the fact
that not all teen-age pregnan
cies are unwanted.
Oh my gosh. Mike! Tell us
something that isn’t quite so
obvious!
That many teen-agers may
want their children doesn’t
change the fact that there are
millions who don't. Many of
these will end in abortion (legal
or not). People in this country
are becoming sexually active
earlier than ever before, and
they are not going to stop just
because you say they should.
Providing information and even
birth control to these people is
only common sense.
Perhaps conservative Chris
tians won't be filling up the
AIDS wards in hospitals, but be
sure to save a place for them.
Why? Because AIDS comes
from a virus, and it doesn't care
about politics or high moral
standards. It is not the wrath of
God.
True, total sexual monogamy
for the whole human race for
one generation would wipe out
venereal disease. Or we could
just abstain from sex for the
same amount of time and wipe
out the human race. too. In this
country, neither I nor anyone
else has the right to tell anyone
else what they may or may not
do with whom or how often in
their own privacy. If it's okay
with you. Mr. Cross and Mr.
Moore. I’d like it to stay that
way.

Give directly
Dori Molbtti's letter (ODE.
Nov. 15) points out something
which I totally agree with — the
many deserving agencies
within this community. I urge
generous giving to these agen
cies. but directly, not through
United Way. I also urge people
to obtain and read Planned
Parenthood's literature for
themselves, especially the
“Federation Policies.”
The objection is made by
United Way leadership that
their funding of Planned
Parenthood is not used for abor
tions. The fact is. however, that
abortion referrals am made by
Planned Parenthood, and abor
lion is recommended as an ac
ceptable form of birth control.
(Manned Parenthood's state
ment that they do not contribute
to abortions is exactly like a
pimp claiming that he has
nothing to do with prostitution.
Nationwide. Planned Paren
thood owns and operates
dozens of abortuaries.
In public schools. Planned
Parenthood's destructive moral
values are being promoted to
vulnerable, impressionable
young people in the guise of
neutral “educational" material.
Were the situation reversed and
Christian values taught in the
school system, the screams of
protest would be deafening.
This is not an anti-charity
stand. Sandwiched in with the
many good organizations of the
United Way “umbrella," is one
that promotes destruction and
immorality.
If United Way will not stop
funding Planned Parenthood. I
recommend that we stop fun
ding United Way and give
directly to those groups which
deserve support.
