The Bishop of Austin Disapproves of Recent Cover
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 17, 2006
Dear Mr. Black,
On several occasions I have had the opportunity to read The Austin Chronicle and have at times enjoyed the thoughtful writings and news items that have appeared.
The positive sentiment was certainly not the case regarding your Jan. 27 issue. I was extraordinarily disappointed by the front cover, which I believe is an insult to women, to God, and to religion [“The New Texas Family Planning,” News]. I think that you have reached an all-time low in journalism.
No matter where you stand on the issue of Planned Parenthood or abortion, I think that such a graphic representation is truly inappropriate and does not contribute to the good of our society.
I respectfully submit this concern and hope that your editorial board will reconsider such indecent displays in the future.
Wishing you God's blessings, I am
