ABORTION ANSWER STOP ABORTION Dear Sir: Dear Editor: note a Stop Abortion" ad with no indication of its being paid for for an advertiser in issue sent to me. 1 would like to know your stand on these items. 1. Who is to be responsible for stopping" it? Do you have confidence in U.S. Government doing so? If so. how? 2. If states are to be responsible what steps are to be taken This is the answer to Mr. Marcius E. Taber's questions. Information was obtained in a brief prepared by Mr. Robert Byrn. Professor of Law. Fordham University Law School. It was presented to the subcommittee on 1 Constitutional March 10. 1975. Amendments. Senaror Birch Bayh. committee chairman, has been holding hearings for over a at that level? year. a. Should abortion be defined as FIRST DEGREE MURDER, and if not. why not. since the death of the fetus is federal government would have to be responsible for stopping abortions" by the means of a Human Life Amendment attached to the Constitution. The definitely planned? b. If it is not murder of first degree, then is that not an ad- mission that the fetus is less than a full human being equal to the same protection of the law" as all other humans? post-natc. And if it is first-degrmurder, what penalty for guilt of fetal murder" do you advocate? Life imprisonment? Capital less Would not any punishment? penalty than for other instances of first degree murder also be a confession that fetal murder" is not the actual deliberate killing of a human person? d. Would you exempt the woman who voluntarily procured an abortion from the penalty of murder? If not. would that not be sex discrimination if a manaborter were to be given a severer penalty? And would it not be unfair to the aborter. and subject to appeal if the one who HIRED a murderer were exempted from prosecution, while the agent was severely punished? 3. What degree of success in abortion was preventing achieved through previous antiabortion laws? Would any new laws be any more effectively enforced? 4. Among what class of women (economic and social) would the prevention laws be the more effective or which would be most likely to evade the laws? These are questions I feel deserve an answer. al ee Sincerely. Marcius E. Taber Hillsdale. Michigan 49242 BE PROUD! Listen not to these voices that are raised against our (American tradition), be they from the one political party or from the other; be they from the high and the mighty, or the lowly and the forgotten. Heed them not. Visit upon them a righteous scorn bom of the past sacrifices of your fighting sons and daughters. Repudiate them in the market place, on the platform, from the pulpit. Those who are our friends will understand. Those who are not, we can pass by. Be proud to be called patriots or nationalists or what you will, if it means that you love your country above all else, and will place your life if need be at the service of our Flag. -- Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur The fundamental right to live, including freedom from aggressive human experimentation, would be granted the unborn by refining the word person" to include the unborn- fourteenth and fifth amendments. A States Rights amendment, in effect, recognizes that an unborn child is a human being but denies that It has a fundamental right to live. It would be illogical and unreasonable to expect a unanimous law to be passed in all 50 states. This right "to live" would be vulnerable to shifting legislative majorities. A Human Life Amendment would guarantee the right to live. The states would legislate and enforce laws as they do now in protecting other citizens right to live. While abortion is unquestionably the killing of a human being, it is doubtful whether abortion would be considered first degree murder. The failure to consider abortion a first degree murder does not mean that an unborn baby is less than a human being. By way of analogy, the killer of a policeman is much more apt to receive a death sentence than the Is the killer of a musician. musician less than human? The conditions surrounding YES. ..SHES AT IT AGAIN Just a few short months ago Henry Kissinger appeared to hold the peace of the world in the hollow of his magic hand. In the other he held the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing 1973 cease about the so-call- ed Viet Nam. He fire in South shuttled and forth between Israel and her Arab enemies, brightening the prospects for an early peace in that troubled region of the world. Kissinger found time to cook up detente between the back United States and Soviet Russia without offending his friends who are Russia's enemies in Peking. He eluded the about tapes tell-tal- e Watergate, and a Congressional committee began consideration of another constitutional amendment that would person House of Representatives subcommittee considering a new copyright bill.

But, where is the voice of Christian people crying out against this? Sex portrayed on the screen has become the norm, but had it not been for a determined effort on the part of Christian Crusade, you would be witnessing far worse, more explicit scenes than you are now.

This campaign will be geared to touch the life of every American possible to inform every person of the threat that is before us. We are determined that Christian radio stations will continue to have the right to air the gospel, present good music that has touched the lives of so many. With Gods guidance and your support that right will never be taken away. Write me today and let me know that you stand with us in this effort to say to the FCC and the atheirts of America you will never allow the voice of God to be silenced from the airwaves of this country. (Christian Crusade, P.O. Box 977, Tulsa. Oklahoma 74102) UNEXCEEDED OPPRESSION If there was anything more oppressive than Communism, then people would flee from it to Communism, but the fact is, people only flee from Communism and never to it. Even in War II people fled from Communism to Nazism, not the other way around. the abortion would have to be taken into account, as they are for any other criminal act. A woman, having an abortion, is not likely to be treated harshly. In part, because an abortion is considered to be an attack on her; and . in part, because she is subject to much more emotional stress than is the abortionist who is performing the abortion for money. Just what degree of success a Human Life Amendment would achieve in the halting of abortion It is is. of course, unknown. reasonable, however, to assume that the rate of success would be fairly close to that prior to the Supreme Court ruling January 22. 1973. A Human Life Amendment carries on its face a moral incentive A program to for compliance. educate on the facts of life, before birth could be undertaken by government agencies. For good or evil, our government teaches by its example. Undoubtedly, the very wealthy would be able to evade a law against abortion far more easily than the vast majority of Americans. Haven't they always had more chance of evading any law. if they so wished. Grace Olivarez added a separate statement to the com- - Hell is where love is stagnant and hope is dead. TO MAKE COMMUNISM FLOURISH Youd think that Communists were an endangered species, the way our government protects them: doing away with the Congress internal security committees to protect them against I activities to protect not only the exposure; restricting C1A-FB- Communists but also those who are serving them; denying aid to allies in their hour of need while insisting that all wars started by invading Communists be fought only, on a basis by those on our side, so the Reds will never be denied victories; and refraining from any and all forms of even to withholding criticisms and factual reporting. no-w- in STOP ABORTION I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

In Vietnam, the Soviets did not send their troops in and theyve won, while we did send our troops in and we lost. They won because they were intended to win, we lost because we insisted upon And the Soviets have kept their side supplied with increasing amounts of arms, while we cut down and cut off the arms given to our side. As a result, Americans now do not ever again want to see our troops sent abroad to fight in any wars against the Communists, and Americans do not want to see any of their n money wasted oh arms for any more wars; but BE GOT TO WRONG ITS DETENTE, no-wi- n. no-wi- Detente certainly has not made the Soviets nor the Red Chinese any less hostile toward us; but it sure has made the Cambodians, Vietnamese, Israelis and all the other Free World nations a lot less friendly toward us.
