Mr. Mayko,

Read your piece reporting the legal charges against Mr. Stanley Scott. With no exaggeration, I find this entire scenario quite fascinating. Mr. Scott is a slender balding old man. His most egregious offenses include calling out to pregnant women and their male companions to have compassion on their unborn children. And he often displays graphic but accurate photos of aborted children. That's it! Mr. Scott is a paradigm of free speech and accuracy in reporting. And Mr. Scott is about as dangerous to this community as six inch surf on the beach at Seaside Park. When one considers that this country has legalized abortion through the entire nine months of pregnancy and that 40 million American kids have been destroyed since that infamous Supreme Court decision, Stan's "crimes" seem pretty small. To see the great and the mighty defenders of justice in Hartford bringing legal action against this old man should strike us as totally ridiculous. Aren't there other things far more useful that our prosecutors could be involved in to make the City of Bridgeport safe to walk in night or day? Couldn't these well-heeled folks busy themselves with routing out corruption in our city governments or attacking and defeating the illegal drug rings or fighting and resolving inner city violence? But struggling so very very hard to give little old Mr. Scott a $1000 fine? This is utterly ridiculous.

In this vein, Mr. Mayko, I would challenge you to take a Post photographer inside the Summit Clinic. I would challenge you to do an honest photo-journalistic piece on the marvels of modern abortion. Show some full color pictures of the "products of conception" left inside a suction machine bottle. Interview the nurses as they count tiny hands and feet to make sure they "got it all". Show clinic workers bagging up the "surgical waste" and sending it to the incinerators. Perhaps do a study of the many women who never will bear children because of the damage done by abortion. Or interview the women who weep each year on the birth dates of the babies they permitted to be scrubbed from their wombs.

Why don't you stand up, Mr. Mayko, and expose abortion for what it is instead of hiding behind the pleasant names given it like "choice" and "a woman's right". Instead of castigating the foes of abortion, charging them with senseless law violations, isn't it time for the Stan Scotts' of this world to be lauded by the media for devoting themselves to proclaiming life in the face of a culture of death?
