Abortion: education, options

I commend the very frank, humanitarian article "Abstinence Is OK," Dec. 20. Promotion of virginity and its concomitant, abstinence, should be a unifying goal for both pro-choice and pro-life advocates. These issues should be a compulsory part of sex education in order to reduce teen pregnancies and possibly abortions. Charles Rasoli Long Island City, N.Y.
