Thank you for the wonderful witness your magazine provides.

It seems evident that we unwittingly give credence to the illogical nonsense of the 'pro-choice' position by failing to place such expressions in quotation marks.

To assist in really bringing home to people that no-one may legitimately ever 'choose' to kill a fellow human being, however small - and this is the second biggest furphy of all time - may I suggest that as editorial policy you adopt this practice in future.

The biggest lie, of course, as G.K.C. noted, is that the evil one has persuaded the world he doesn't exist.
