Abortion issue (2)

I am shocked to read in the Your Letters column (The Jakarta Post, Oct.11, 1995) about whether abortion should be legalized in Indonesia.

Do not think for once that sex is natural. It is not. Having sex is art, love and responsibility. There is a limit to everything we do. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and AIDS are proof that having sex is not just part of human rights.

If some people want to eat, talk and have sex the Western way, let them do it. But never expect that it will be legalized. After all we are Indonesians, who are predominantly Moslems.

Be serious!
