A review of the ensuing debate is published in the May 2 7 edition of the magazine. Science. The report appeared in the May 2 issue of the magazine,.! viation Week. accompanied by an editorial in which the editor, Robert liberty. The tactic works for several reasons: 1) it puts Catholics and Mormons, who certainly dont intend to apologize for their religious affiliation or for their prolife stance, on the defensive; 2) it makes it far easier for people who are unaffiliated or of other denominations to ignore the entire matter; and 3) it appeals to religious prejudices which, still exist in this country. Armed with a few basic facts, we can defeat this propaganda ploy. First of all. abortion is not a religious but a human rights issue. Killing preborn children is a crime against humanity, not against a specific church, and. as such, is of concern to people from a variety of religious, cutltural. ecnonomic. political and racial backgrounds. These people know' that, in a pluralistic society, we must not legislate the religious teaching (dietary restrictions, church atten- United States is in danger of j crippling technological surprise that could render its entire strategic missile force ineffective.

The authorities claim that the report in fs order to exaggerated and reassure those concerned. President Carter, after Amendment separation of church and state and denies all others their religious Holtz, stated that the The man who is most insistent that the Soviet has developed such a weapon is Major General George J.

They had, after all, fled from areas in which the state had tried to suppress their freedom of religious practice. This church state principle has never meant that churches and church-goe- rs should not seek to influence politics. In fact, churches of most traditions make a regular practice of speaking out on public issues w ith which the state is also concerned.

Robert Holbrook. President of Baptists for Life, has said, Religious liberty means I am free to worship God as 1 want. It means I am free to pray; it does not mean I am free to kill Keep these points in mind the next time someone tries to label abortion as just a religious issue. (You might also point out that the majority of our founding fathers, w ho intended to protect all human beings, were neither Mormon nor Catholic!)

Pratt Because abortionists find it to argue based on facts, they often rely, instead, on devious propaganda techniques. One of the most effective of these is the charge that those who seek a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution want to write a particular sectarian view (in Utah, in other places, Mormonism; Catholicism) into the law of the land.

If the Soviets secure such a weapon first. they will have secured probably a great irreversible advantage in their battle to conquer the world. The lesson is clear.

ANSWER: Stop criticizing successful business people who find better ways of doing things and stop regulating and controlling them to the point at which it is difficult for them to operate; Above all, stop taxing them excessively so they cannot continue accumulating sufficient capital to maintain and extend their activities. This is the way jobs are created. If we tax them so heavily that the amount of capital available for financing industry declines, we shall be on the way to lower living standards and hard times.
