The Birch Log Taxes Pay for Abortion by John F, McManus Belmont, Massachusetts Congress approved compromise wording for an amendment to the $56.6 billion HEW appropriations act. The measure, initiated by Representative Henry Hyde said simply: (R.-Ill.- ), None of the funds contained in this Act shall be used to perform abortions except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term. It was clearly designed to put a stop to taxpayer financing of 300,000 abortions per year at a cost of $50 million. The Hyde Amendment sub- sequently survived President Fords veto of the entire HEW bill a veto which he exercised of his disagreebecause solely amount. He with dollar the ment even expressly stated his agreement with the Hyde Amendment. Shortly afterwards, both Houses of Congress overrode the Presidents veto, and the bill became law on September 30. "Here Comes De Judge" As has happened all too fre- quently in recent years, the federal judiciary then overrode the will of Congress. Just as in the busing controversy, where Con- gress has specifically gone on record opposing the practice, the federal judges have assumed power to make law, or to destroy law, virtually at whim. On October 22, Federal District Judge John Dooling Jr. ruled that abortion is a womans constitutional right which cannot be barred because she is poor. He ordered the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to notify all parties concerned throughout the United States that the Hyde Amendment should be ignored and that Medicaid payments for abortion should continue. Judge Doolings decision is, of course, based on the Supreme Courts January 1973 decision which legalized abortion in the United States. That decision has to be ranked among the most devious and cowardly acts of tv. nMiMt .... . rwmbm I 1 COIN CORPORATION 21 1 East 3900 South Phone 4 Salt Lake City, Utah MONARCH 262-587- On September 17, after haggling over the matter for months, .

Instead, the decision was based on a womans right to privacy. We are all for privacy, but if that fetus in the womb is a human life, we are equally concerned with its privacy, and its right to continue to live. If life begins at birth, a major argument against abortion disappears. But if life begins at conception, then abortion is the which taking of innocent life is murder. The reason the Supreme Court skirted this vital issue is that no medical or biological testimony can be found to support the contention that life begins at any time other than conception. From a Choice to a Right - Since the infamous decision of 1973, abortion has, in a legal sense, been elevated from a womans permissible prerogative to a womans constitutional right. (The Founding Fathers, whose first purpose in writing the Constitution was to protect life, must be turning in their graves.) Now, you and I and all taxpayers must foot the bill for the mass murder. Once more the judiciary has spoken. Congress be damned! Taxpayers be damned! Scientific testimony be damned! And the Constitution be damned! on-goi- ng Jefferson's Warning Thomas Jefferson in his Works left the following warning about federal judges: The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. One foundation of the American system is that governments first purpose is to protect life, not destroy it. The Constitution empowers the Congress to limit the jurisdiction of federal judges and to impeach them for misconduct.
