Dear Editor: My letter (We’re Indebted to Liberals, Feb. 6) has certainly opened up an interesting exchange of varying opinions … I do not wish to continue this interchange ad nauseum, but …

Laws About Immigration
Dear Editor: Mr. Gange is correct when he writes (Liberals v. Conservatives, Feb. 17) that “(the Church) does not deny the right of the United States of America to have immigration laws.” However …
Choice to Have Children
Dear Editor: People are certainly entitled to equate contraception and abortion, but that view is so far outside of the mainstream for millions of Americans.
Queens Parish Looking Good
Dear Editor: It is a joy to see Presentation B.V.M., Jamaica, my childhood parish of some 70 years ago still a place of nurturing for its present parish family.
Science Has Settled it
Dear Editor: I often laugh when Liberals start talking about climate change and mock Conservatives or anyone who questions the science.
Washington Recognized It
Dear Editor: Thank you very much to The Editor’s Space (Feb. 13) that mentioned our First President, George Washington. Words of his that stand out in my mind, in particular, are “I cannot tell a lie….”
Pro-Gun?
Dear Editor: In reply to Joan M. Jennings (responses to “We’re Indebted to the Liberals,” Letters to the Editor, The Tablet website, thetablet.org, Feb. 16): Where is the mercy for the children of Sandy Hook from those who adopt simplistic attitudes about how such evil comes to exist? No one has a “pro-gun agenda.”
Let’s Not Play God
Dear Editor: I am responding to the usually conservative Father Pacholczyk’s Feb. 20 column on “Human Organs from Pigs.” I was shocked with his very pro-scientific endorsement of chimeras.
Liberals v. Conservatives
Dear Editor: I disagree with reader Anthony Tenga’s letter (“Another Fan of Liberals,” Feb. 13) and other recent letters in support of political liberals. Specifically, the assertion that support for enforcing immigration laws, as done in every other country in the world, is somehow not within Catholic teaching is not correct.
New York’s Shameful Legacy
Dear Editor: Kudos to John Hourig for his eloquent and passionate comments (Jan. 23) titled “Life is Cheap.” Truly, a sad state of affairs, but a well-articulated home run. On April 9, 1970, the N.Y.S. Assembly took up the debate and roll call on the Abortion Bill, which ended in a deadlock (74-74) – two votes short of the 76 needed for a majority. Before the vote was closed, Assemblyman George Michaels of Cayuga County rose and switched his vote from Nay to Aye. The vote now stood at (75-73) The house Speaker Perry Duryea voted Aye making it (76-74). Bill passed. A day of infamy.
