Tusiday, Nb. Page AttiOhA Program To Cover Four Counties WOULD YOU BELIEVE THOUSAND? 'Landers: i am shocked and outraged over your answer' to "On Tile the man whose wife became pregnant without knowledge or consent," knowing full well that he'did not want another child. They: already, had he eldest 20 arid the youngest 13. fellow said the prospect tied down until he 60 was horribly depressing and he just -couldn't face itV Me gave his wife a choice- either she has an abortion or he getk a divorce. Herev.was a very unhappy man Who was asking for your opinloniInstead of giving him a civilized answer you responded in an abUsive manner and.

told his wife didn't get pregnant herself that he should stop acting like a jackass and accept the fourth child i th dignityl: Every child has the right to be wanted by BOTH parents. And who, in the hell needs a fourth child anyway? My heart ached for that father and I am burning your insensitivity. I'll bet you receive hundreds of letters like this one and you'll probably throw them, all'in'the wastebasket, unanswered. Disappointed In Santa Barbara Dear Ms: Would you believe thousands? The barrage of hate mail I received because of my reply to thai father is heavier than the love mail generated by my loaf. To all who wrote to tell me I am cruel, unfeeling, ignorant and just plain nuts, I would like to say this: Any man who give his wife the choice of abortion or divorce after she told him she wants the indeed a jackass.

I have stated publicly and in print, that I stand four square in favor of abortion on. demand, for any woman married or unmarried provided of course that her physician says the pregnancy can be terminal ed safely. I believe the matter of abortion should be decided. between a woman and her doctor, without interference from church or I also have recommended vasectomy as a sane and sensible method of irt control for married over 35 who don't want larger fami lies. I recognize the need for population control and have so ed, repeatedly.

But in this case, the woman is already 1 pregnant. She wants the child. In my opinion her wishes should prevail. The vicious and hyster leal tone of the people who -disagreed with my answer soadcd me more deeply than that I was right. -o- MORE THAN GOOD! 4 Dear Ann.

Landers: What can be done about a teacher who picks on a child unmercifully? Our 10-year-old son Qrrin is not a bad boy. He's average. No better and no worse than any of the other 'boys in his room. Yesterday his teacher sent Orrin home for no reason at all. was crying when he into the house- humili- -afced and hurt.

Why 1 teacher mean as to do this? I'd like wfad Wants Fairness Dear Mom: When ft child is £nt home from school In the middle of the day 6 tea- there's a reason. to the school and find out what It Is. It is interesting that you We decided the terfcher ig mean without knowing the facts. Mothers who blindly side with their children against teachers invariably do their children more harm than good.
