ABORTION, MEDICAL POT SHOULD BE CHOICES

I have read a lot of letters to the editor regarding abortion and
medical marijuana.

Awoman's body is her own choice. Our politicians and government should
not have any laws governing thiswoman's choice. This is a personal and
family matter. I believe our Catholic Church is too influential in
government matters. This is a human choice, not a legal matter.

Regarding medical marijuana. My girlfriend, Ann, had cancer in 1983.
She never smoked. She started smoking marijuana to relieve the
aftermath of chemo therapy, and it relieved her of the sickness and
pain. Thisworked for her under strict doctor's orders. It should
definitely be available for other cancer victims.

This is another government policy getting into the rights of
people.
