TO THE EDITOR
duty. If we the people don’t do it, who’s going
to do it? The citizens of Eugene have cer-
tainly seen what happens when they don’t.
Why would the police want to be in a sep-
arate structure? This would only be a much
more attractive target to some nut. A totally
separate police will only add to the paid mer-
cenary mentality that currently exists. And a
central location quickly turns into a hang out
— which is the last thing you want it to be.
All personnel involved in law enforce-
ment should be permanently housed through-
out the community where they are needed.
And citizens should be drafted to serve right
along side them. A central location for police,
prosecutors, the courts, etc., really sucks.

BIASED WORD CHOICE
Thank you for your article exposing the
crisis pregnancy centers and their right-wing
anti-choice agenda, but sadly, your reporter
was co-opted into using the anti-choice
wing’s own biased word choice. No more
than two paragraphs into the article the
phrase “saving the unborn” appears and not
in a quote or in a joking fashion either. The
term “unborn” is the height of bias and it
should have been obvious to the editor and
the reporter.
Please use accurate terms such as fetus in
the future. Language is important, and when
you adopt a biased word choice you have al-
ready been partly co-opted.
