sa4 wednesday august 171883 notsmiling subject dear audrey green r t i found nothing in your editorial com- meats oh abortion that would cause me to smile at all let alone awhile you have accused the public of not considering the pros and cons seriously before passing judgment it is obvious from your article that you stand judged by your own conde mnation 4 ft you say that you cant comprehend now anyone can claim abortion to be rights or wrong you seem to forget orjgnore gocuyou state that whether ornot the fetus is human or just an organism of blood and tissue makes no difference god states in his word that he is the creator of life and therefore it does make a differ ence you go on to say that individual choice is the bottom line you seem to think that if a woman is denied an abortion then her individual freedom is lost may i ask who are you to decide that the freedom of choice of the mother is more important than the freedom of choice of the child which is de nied by the act of abortion the fact that you deny the individual choice of the child points out the incon sistency of your argument you appear to think that incest and rape are wrong i assume because you believe that an indi viduals freedom of choice is violated when sexual intercourse is forced by another person similarily that same ethical stan dard should tell you that the abortion is wrong because it denies the freedom of choice of the child the choice by the mother to abort is to violate the freedom of choice of the child by forcing death when the child may have chosen life this really brings us back to the real question that you declare is bogwash is the fetus a human life or not if it is human then you violate your own standard of the freedom of choice because the abortion denies that very right to the unborn child i may have sounded a little harsh the reason is because we are talking of 60000 plus young canadians aborted annually all of these are humans whom god has said are in his image and for whom he died in jesus of nazareth when considers them that sacred then i can do no less your sincerely rev james r clubine the missionary church stouffville rijfasv i vy v vv r theldnevergelv
