The Northerner

First Amendment gives protection to ads too

I just read the editorial written by Nurse Shirley Fledderjohn about the “evil” pro-life insert included with last weeks paper. Her argument against the Northerner for running the ad is laughable. Thank God that people like Ms. Fledderjohn don’t run this country. Our first amendment surely would be altered to apply only to Ms. Fledderjohn and people with views and opinions like her own. The Northerner runs ads, news, and opinions. Any person or organization and most companies are welcome to participate in the Northerner. Her opinion is welcomed in the any American newspaper and so are all other opinions even though they may contradict hers.
If a pro-choice organization wanted to respond or run their own ad, I trust the Northerner would allow this also. Keep up the good work and pay no attention to people like Ms. Fledderjohn.
Sincerely,
