To the editor:
According to the bar graph of juvenile abortions in Kansas appearing on page 1A of the Aug. 9 Journal-World:
¢ 19 is more than 20,
¢ 11 is twice as much as 10,
¢ 10 is only slightly more than 5,
¢ 11 is more than 12 (both times),
¢ 6 is nearly twice 5, somewhat more than 10, and only slightly less than 12!
I see we have a new person credited with these graphics, who is carrying on the well-established tradition of misleading graphics in the Journal-World
On page 5C of the same newspaper one finds a full page ad touting the wonderful accomplishments of the Journal-World. It is disappointing so little attention is given to clarity in their graphics.

Actually abortions are on the decrease which is good. Among all of the many things said about abortions they are emotionlly difficult for women.
