Without making any judgments about either cause, we can say that here in this letter to the editor we have a "pot calling the kettle black" situation:

PETA is a group that will brazenly use the flimsiest of news pegs on which to hang one of its pro-animal rights polemics. Anti-abortion activists likewise use any excuse to get the message out. They can probably teach each other a lot about how to get media attention, although I do hope the insect lovers don't start using Holocaust comparisons.
