To the editor:
I knew Steve Jobs was an amazing man. He was an inventor and entrepreneur. He was co-founder and CEO of Apple, Inc., and was chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios. When he died, he was described as a visionary, pioneer, and genius who profoundly changed the face of the modern world.

But what I learned on Oct. 5 when he passed away brought tears to my eyes. He was an ADOPTED child! WOW! What a blessing for the world that his unwed mother, when faced with her unexpected pregnancy, made the loving choice to give birth to him and allowed him to be adopted.
How many other geniuses have we lost through the ?choice? of abortion? We can?t change that ~ they are gone forever. But we can hopefully prevent future losses.
Our world, women, and especially the unborn child deserve better than abortion. Let?s truly become a loving society and help all women facing unplanned pregnancies give life to their unborn children. Who knows which one of them will be the next Steve Jobs?
