The Liberal Doublecross Continued From Page 1 swordfish industry to its knees with exaggerated charges about the harmful effects which the mercury content of swordfish might have on consumers. And so it goes, in one instance after another. Consider the usual Liberal position on the matters of abortion and capital punishment. With disturbing consistency, those working to extend the lives of convicted murderers by seeking abolition of the death penalty are also involved in the movement to extinguish the lives of the innocent unborn young through abortion. On August 28, 1972, the Washington Post carried an Associated Press dispatch headlined: Groups Fight Death Penalty. Among the oiganiza-tion- s listed were the American Friends Service Committee, the Lutheran Church in America, the United Church of Christ, and the United Methodist Church. They were reported to have filed briefs with the Supreme Court urging that the death penalty be ruled unconstitutional. Yet on May 3, 1971, a list of organizations which have adopted resolutions condoning abortion was entered into the Congressional Record. Among the religious groups listed were the American Friends Service Committee, the United Presbyterian Church, the Lutheran Church in America, the United Church of Christ, and the United Methodist Church. Similarly, a few months ago a mailing was sent to various parts of the country by an organization called The Committee of 100 in Support jective of the mailing was to raise money to be used to carry on the Legal Defense Funds fight to abolish capital punishment. One member of the Committee of 100 was Dr. Karl Menninger, who has in the past opposed the death penalty with the argument: To a physician discussing this wiser treatment of our fellow men, it seems hardly necessary to add that under no circumstances should we kill them. It was never considered right for doctors to kill their patients, no matter how helpless their condition. Similarly, capital punishment is in my opinion morally wrong.2 Yet Dr. Menninger, and at least ten other members of the Committee of 100, have also served as members of the International Sponsors Council of Planned Parenthood-Worl- d Population, and abortionist organization. In the field of foreign policy, the Liberal double standard is well illustrated by the manner in which the Nixon Administration has continued its persecution of Rhodesia, while d.oing everything possible to clear the way for increased diplomatic and commercial dealings anti-Commun- ist 2See TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY, Hearings before the Senate Subcommittee on Criminal Laws, and Procedures, March 20, 21, and July 2, 1968, Page 13. of the Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
