PIP: This letter to the editor refers to an article on the "Baby Boom" published in 1998. The letter-writer, the Political Director of the Republican Pro-Choice PAC, concurs with the article that if the religious right holds sway in the US and is able to interfere with family planning assistance, the number of abortions will increase. The letter-writer then identifies Representative Chris Smith (Republican of New Jersey) and Representative Henry Hyde (Republican of Illinois) as the leaders of an anti-family planning alliance in Congress. The Republican Pro-Choice PAC is supported by Republicans who are concerned about overpopulation and want to elect members of their party who understand the importance of these issues and act accordingly.
