The right to choose, yes even in high school

I owned today's editorial pages in the Seattle Times, both unsigned pieces are mine. Pretty proud of this piece defending a young girl's right to seek a pregnancy test at a high school school-based clinic and ultimately, her decision to have an abortion. Judging by the comments at the bottom of my editorial, seems many wanted her to walk around with a scarlet H (for harlot) on her shirt and oh yes, carry the baby to term. Whether she wants to or not. Political views absence compassion aren't worth having.

Here's the original story that led to my editorial.
