Letter to the Editor: Daily hasn’t made the case for abortion
By: Jeffrey G. Brown
I was rather disappointed to read the Daily editorial about the Pitts-Stupak Amendment to the U.S. House of Representatives version of the health care reform bill (Stop Stupak, 11/10/2009). As a pro-lifer who longs to see the day that health care will be more accessible to disadvantaged Americans, I was overjoyed at the passage of the Stupak Amendment.
Letter to the Editor: FDA has reason to exclude gay men from donating
By: Gavin Stern
In his column, Matthew Green dangerously imposes politics on medical science (There should be blood, 11/12/2009).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration explains why gay men are excluded from donating blood on its website: "Men who have sex with men and would be likely to donate have a HIV prevalence that is at present over 15 fold higher than the general population."
Letter to the Editor: The Daily’s top 10 rankings ignored TCU
By: Eric Hutchinson
I am just curious as to why the entire sports staff failed to put Texas Christian University in their top 10 rankings. What else does it have to do to prove it is an elite team? It crushed a good Utah team last week, destroyed Brigham Young in an away game, knocked off a pretty good Clemson team and have cruised fairly easily through the rest of the Mountain West.
Letter to the Editor: Government, not businesses, will lead green revolution
By: Samuel Marvin
In response to Brian Flaherty's column, I think that he places too much faith in the business community to address global climate change (Changing the business climate, 11/16/2009).
Letter to the Editor: Don’t blame the coaches for football team losses
By: Jared Karlow
It's easy to get angry with Michigan football Coach Rich Rodriguez about what looks to be a second losing season in a row, and it's easy to be displeased with Michigan Defensive Coordinator Greg Robinson and a defense that is one of the worst this program has ever seen. But to lay all the blame on them is naive.
Letter to the Editor: A better fix for state roads would be privatization

Letter to the Editor: Viewpoint was unfairly critical of the Catholic Church
By: Roberto de la Salud Bea
In his viewpoint, William Butler calls Catholicism a “hateful and bigoted religion” because it doesn't "offer a sign of openness” even though a “growing number of people will continue to support the morality of homosexuality and ordination of women and gay clergy” (Losing faith in the papacy, 11/08/2009). But as usual in these cases, Butler does not mention other religions such as Islam.
Letter to the Editor: Hockey chant is meant to intimidate, not discriminate
By: Meghann Swiderek
In all of the debate about the "C-Ya" chant (Author wasn't just 'one of the crowd' in 'C-Ya' chant, 11/10/09), why doesn't anyone ever complain about the "bitch," "whore" or "pussy" parts of the chant? Those words are as sexist as "cocksucker" is homophobic but they almost always go unnoticed.
Letter to the Editor: Author led ‘C-Ya’ chant, was not one of the crowd
By: Nord Christensen
Regarding Andy Reid's SportsMonday column, the University's 'C-Ya' chant for ice hockey isn’t just “racy” (I shouldn't have been kicked out of Yost Ice Arena this weekend, 11/08/2009). It’s profane.
