Dear Editor: The article written by Edith Avila Olea (“What Is the Value Of Life,” Feb. 1) was well written, and she states all the worries about the cost of pre-natal care, giving birth, the lack of paid parental leave, the cost of child care and that life isn’t a simple act of birth — it costs money.
