Letter to the editor: Abortion is disobeying commandment
Letter-writer David Ninehouser (“Jesus never preached about abortion,” May 20, TribLIVE) tells us “Jesus speaks not one single, solitary word about abortion.” I refer Mr Ninehouser to the Ten Commandments, which were in place prior to Christ’s coming. The Fifth Commandment tells us, “Thou shall not kill.” Abortion is the...
Letter to the editor: Prayer is not enough to save the innocent from assault weapons
After a shooting of many innocent people, innocent children, we pray; then another and another massacre, and we pray, as we should. But prayer is not enough. I believe that we are given choices to make, making the wrong ones; we then punish ourselves. We need to take responsibility with...

Letter to the editor: Require military service for weapons
In the early 1980s, I purchased a 12-gauge shotgun at Sears in the Westmoreland Mall, and I walked through the mall to carry it out to my car. Unthinkable today, as society’s views on weapons have changed in the last decades. In reflecting on those changing societal views, I think...
Editorial: Nelson’s college voucher bill leaves many questions

Letter to the editor: Pittsburgh’s accessibility, affordability set it apart
It’s the inaugural Saturday night of my new residency in the Roosevelt apartments here in the City of Bridges. The streets, four floors below, bellow with discordant beats and samples that waft through my window. The accessible pedestrian crosswalk signal beeps off tempo to the live jazz at Con Alma...

Dr. Andrew Smolar: Guns shouldn’t be in teachers’ arsenal
Mrs. Bird didn’t speak a word of English in our first day of seventh-grade French. It’s one thing to sign up for a language that celebrates pastries and bicycle races, but it’s another thing to feel totally lost. Such was my plight for the first week of French. But I...
Sounding off: Where is our decency and common sense?
