thou shalt not kill the tribune thursday june 23 1917 5 pro life speaker addresses public chuck roche teacher at stouffville district secondary school and chairman of the durham region right to life association spoke sunday at the stouffville pentecostal church on abortion abortion or thou shalt not kill- mr roche told the congregation to thousands who are not here yet we represent one last hope in their struggle for survival a chance to live we are pleading their case they are innocent and on deatkrow we must win i am aware you have mixed feelings about abortion i am aware some of you may have had personal experiences in this area i am aware of how controversial and emotional the abortion issue is consequently i find myself faced with an awesome a frightening responsibility on one hand i have no right no desire or no intention to judge to embarrass or to hurt anvone more and more people especially the young acting in fear in ignorance agree to abortions only to suffer serious and traumatic regrets later i have no desire to add brt or guilt to a regrettable mistake on the other hand 1 am faced with the realization that lives may or may not be saved by what i say or how you react here and now did you know that every ten each time for health reasons no my friends the truth is that only about l per ccit of abortions are for health reasons ac cording to dr william allemang engaged in abortion practice senior staff obstetrician and gynecologist toronto general hospital less than 1 per cent of abor tions in canada are being performed for medical reasons the truth is abortions are being performed for social reasons for economic reasons for convenience abortions are being performed because the baby the developing human being is a boy when a girl is more desirable or vice versa abortion is the latest surest and costliest method of birth control do we know what the cost of abortions really is in dollars the least important consideration ohip pays or i should say we pay an average of 700 for 23000 abortions annually here in ontario over 15000000 our society pays a higher price in terms of loss of pride dignity and respect for life the recent examples of mongoloid children being denied life- saving surgery because they dont meet someones standards or specificjitions the people involved pay a high price psychologically and physically statistics reveal flan abortion minutes a canadian baby frequently causes dies at the hands of an physical inability to abortionist did you know- that our laws allow abortions onl where the health or the life of the mother is endangered did you know that more canadian babies died on the abortion table in 1975 than the number of canadians killed in the second world war do you believe that 50oqo canadian women a year cannot carry a baby to full term is it possible conceive or carry a baby in later life the highest price is paid by the baby itself he or she pays with his or her life this is expensive birth control i say abortion is used asa method of birth control based on a recent report from the government sponsored badgeley committee fact 20 per cent of abortions are second or third time 59 per cent of women having the 17 year old girl in the abortions know about hospital recently for her birth control methods and third abortion was there just didnt use any 95 per cent knew about birth control and how to be informed but conceived irresponsibly a socalled unwanted child the fact is because abortions are readily available we have more and more unplanned pregnancies and irresponsible sexual involvement to solve this problem marc lalonde is proposing to set up abortion clinics and make it more available does he think we are stupid enough to accept this is he en couraging wholesale infanticide we must object publicly violently and now as human beings made in the image and likeness of god we must feel a little shame atwhat we see what we allow does that familiar plea suffer the little children to come unto me no longer apply is it just another outdated or obsolete custom what is an abortion it is a termination an interruption the stop page of a process before it is completed we might ask ourselves what is stopped when a baby is aborted to answer consider f what is started when a woman conceives life begins small helpless but truly one of gods chosen ones hishandiworka new and distinct human being what else could it be can a man and a woman reproduce anything but a human being the next critical question is is it living any medical doctor will admit the very real fact of life and why not life living cells coming together at conception to form a living growing body with distince features a distinct person does not die and later come back to life life continues this stage of life is only smaller more dependent and more obscure- this dependence this geographic location has no more effect on the life or the humanity of the fetus the baby anymore than a patient in an oxygen tent or any life sustaining device the criteria for life are detectable before the mother ever knows she is pregnant a heartbeat at 18 days sucking his her thumb at 5 weeks all systems are functioning at 5 weeks the fetal stage is only another stage in human growth and development as is infancy or adolescence one common abor tion method is injecting a salt poison solution why poison to kill the fetus that we are told is not living how often have you heard of babies left in a pail 2 3 or even 5 hours to die before they throw them out how often have you heard of babies moving and crying in the garbage bag on the way to the incinerator it happens it is wrong we as humans have a responsibility to build a society which protects and guarantees the right of every one especially the right to life in the first chapter of the book of genesis it reads then god said let us make man in our own image after our likeness god created man in his own image in the divine image he created him male and female he created them since man has been created in the image and likeness of god every human being is godlike and therefore is sacred and derives his right to life from god if on the otherhand we defy god by denying mans right to life is god given it is easy to accept the current theory that man exists for society and is valuable only in so far as he is useful to that society when we take this stand it is easy to kill the inconvenient child in the womb in the words of lutheran pastor martin neimoller in germany in germany they first came for the communists and i didnt speak up i wasnt a communist then they came for the jews and didnt speak up because i wasnt a jew then they came for the trade- unionist and i didnt speak up because i wasnt a tradeunionist they came for the catholics and i didnt speak up because i was a protestant then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up thou shalt not kill there were and are no exceptions in the plan of god only man has made exceptions and man will answer for it if we continue to allow it to happen we will most certainly answer for it we are here as laborers in his vineyard the harvest is great but the laborers are fewif you believe that god is pleased with the defense less slaughter of his innocent unborn then stay as you are dp nothing remain silent if on the other hand you are alarmed by this situation do not return home from your com fortable pew this morning until you have decided that the acid test of your convictions lies not in your thoughts but in your future actions the lord has said whatever you do to the least of my brethren you do unto me let us join in the fight for life let us be heard and seen carrying the banner thou shalt not kill so when the twilight of our existence fades as surely it will when the plastic hopes and aspirations of this world have disappeared when we stand before our god at the final judgement we can confidently say grant me eternal life o lord i fought for life chuck roche rr 1 ashburn successful budgets begin here with lower food prices retirement the fourth quarter by leslie holbbook- good weather months encourage even the most stayathome types to get up and go but you say you cant go far at todays zooming transportation and accommodation costs v well you dont have to go far you can have just as much fun and get just as much satisfaction out of trips within short miles of home after considerable foreign travel my wife and i have- cut back because- of rising costs although there is con- siderable canadian travel in the cards for us now as we call on editors who offer you this column or should be offering it to you and meet with other seniors across the land curtailing jaunts to europe south america mexico the carribean etc we discover that there is no basic dif ference between ram bling in rome and checking the county next to you 1 wherever you roam if you keep your eyes open camera and binoculars at the ready and note book open you caa gather the stuff of which memories are made without going far afield if you still like to drive your car or have a friend with similar interests youcan best ramble at will your neighbouring coun tryside but there are also many groups and in dividuals in all parts of the country who specialize in arranging short and longer trips for seniors by bus train or plane where you let someone else worry about the mechanics of the trip but however you go and no matter j how limited your physical capabilities make a real effort to record your experiences your im pressions and data about places and faces you enjoyed a stenos note book is fine for such records supplemented by some personal picture- taking the story will be even better when- you enjoy it in review- later some oldsters come back with their trip comments sounds of their travels and talks with local folk on tape the small portable cassette tape recorders are easy to use and you might find one a good investment with adequate notes and pictures to back up your memory you have every trip deposited in a bank for use whenever you wish unlike most banks you can keepon withdrawing without ever having an overdraft my own travel notes often are incorporated into a personal daily journal i have kept steadily for some thirty years other notes are placed with informative files of places visited with this we have a library of thousands of colored slides taken on our journeyings when time permits cwhich isntv often enough we can look at pictures of trips years back and when memory fails refer to journal or files to bring greatest pleasure to our armchair revisit these trips down memory lane can be just as enjoyable whether the original journey was 10 miles or 1000 thought for the week an old travel adage runs the longer and more expensive the trip the- older the passenger lets revise this to read the shorter and most reasonable the outing the smarter the traveller i who
