And it begins...

Quickest turnaround I've ever had on a letter to the editor - submitted it yesterday morning, and they printed it this morning. I made some comment in the subject line of my email that this was likely going to be the first letter of many on the subject, and the woman from the Juneau Empire who did the confirmation call told me that I was right, and she was glad that mine was so well written. Given some of the incoherent rants I've seen on the subject (abortion seems to be one of those issues that takes people down to third-grade-level debating), I don't envy her her job over the next few weeks.

I especially like the title they gave my letter; that should cause a bit of stir. *evil grin*

Planned Parenthood can prevent abortions

We'll see if anyone comes up with some well-thought-out responses over the next few weeks...

Amusing addendum to previous posts

I was at the Public Health Center just now to get a refill on my birth control pills, and when I told them my name, both of the receptionists went "Oh, you're Ambrosia! We were passing around a printout of your letter just now, and we all thought it was really good..." It just struck me as kind of funny, since I'm not used to people recognizing my name. I guess that's what it's like to be a celebrity, if only a temporary one in certain circles of one's community...=)
