The e11.4;6, ns t? le pho aph abd110 Sy Dr. Rainer Jonas shows'what a healthy, active intrauterine child looks like at 19 weeks. Does a fetus experience pain and react to avoid it? All of the nerves, spinal cord, and thalamus sufficient to experi- ence pain are developed in the twelve -week old unborn baby. It is the thalamus of the brain "where sensations like heat, cold, pain and touch first become conscious,according to an article in TIME in June 1984 on "Why Pain Hurts: Unlocking An Agonizing Mystery." The cortex is not needed to experience pain. Since the unborn child in the film cannot talk to us, we must observe her behavior in order to judge whether she is in pain. During the film, the unborn child exhibits behavior characteristics of being in distress by moving away from the abortion instrument and having an accelerated heartbeat.

The Legal Foundation For Euthanasia It is important to understand the legal theory the courts have constructed to permit patients to be starved and dehydrated to death, how that theory could be further expanded to block effective legal protection for vulnerable patients, and how legisla- tion of euthanasia by lethal injection, as proposed in California in 1988, could not long remain voluntary in the current legal climate. The series of state court rulings allowing starva- tion and dehydration deaths of incompetent pa- tients at the direction of third parties has been based on a doctrine known as substituted judgment. This doctrine supposes that a third party is capable of substituting his own judgment so accurately for what a patient would want that the patient's wishes are carried out. In more trival matters, where it is necessary to choose between various courses of ac- tion in managing the affairs of incompetent per- sons, this doctrine might seem appropriate. Howev- er, when the consequence of the substituted judg- ment is that the incompetent person is to be killed by starvation and dehydration, and the person al- lowed to make theudgment is precisely the one who first sought to have the patient starved, then the consequences of this doctrine become extremely frightening. Euthanasia, NAL Education Trust 1985 For Life GO OUT ON A LIMB Women who decide to complete their pregnancy need radical sup- port, Mrs. Brophy cautions. She feels that too often this level of commitment hasn't been made and a woman finds herself struggling alone. "If you're going to help one of these women you've got to go all the way. Adopt a new person into your life — go out on a limb for her." It means not only availing the woman of crisis support services but also being personally available for the long haul. Many crisis pregnancy centers find that women stay in touch for years after the birth of their baby, finding in the centre those who understand and support them. NURSES HAVE NO CHOICE Mrs. Brophy believes that the only recourse for concerned health care workers is to join forces with others through the organization NURSES FOR LIFE. "If you don't act together it's very hard to act at all. Collectively nurses can stop abortion." ABORTION ONLY THE BEGINNING, She continues with an increased note of urgency. "Abortion is the beginning of the many serious moral compromises that will be de- manded of nurses as we enter the 21st century. If we don't defend our right to be moral beings in abortion we will have nothing to stand on when a physician expects us to assist him to 'put to sleep' a patient suffering from cancer or senility or profound handicap. This sounds exaggerated but it's not. It only takes working in the inten- sive care ward and hearing the debates that go on to realize that. We've never before, had ,i , ological power pror life end, that wie have aw: "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are In the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, the handicapped." Former U.S. Senator Hubert Humphrey "The Care of Human Life and not Its destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good . government."

Jail Notes by Nancy Cruzan #10527 Late in 1990, following a United States Supreme Court action, a local court was free to say that the family of Nancy Cruzan could', refuse to let hospital staff feed their invalid daughter, and to with- hold food and water from her until she died of starvation and dehy- dration. Contrary to network wire service reporting, Nancy was not a vege- tative case, was not in a coma and was not hooked up to any compli- cated life-support apparatus. Most of the hospital staff petitioned to be allowed to continue to feed her and to give her water to drink. When this was denied, there were men and women who believe that both the law of God, the Declaration of Independence, and com- mon decency, all make starving innocent people to death a national disaster. Two dozen of them gathered in Mt. Vernon, Missouri, to try to bring nourishment and water to helpless Nancy Cruzan. Jailed for refusing to leave the hospital after being stopped from trying to reach her with food and water, they took Nancy s name in token of their identification with all innocent targets. One of those jailed was Joseph Lapsley Foreman, a Presbyterian minister, descended from five Presbyterian ministers, and born in Korea to missionary parents. Here are some of his Notes, written in the Lawrence County Jail. Injured by Abortion? Problems .. after an abortion? Medical • Legal • Emotional Help 1-800-6342224 PREGNANT?

Our dignity — yours, mine, our nation's -•� is measured by our response to her helplessness. When I was eleven and twelve years old, my father and my mother and that blessed Margaret Odum Joyner taught me something by quiet example. They took loving, difficult care of my grandfather in his last years of utter unremitting helplessness. They taught me that Christians don't abandon family. Helplessness We all have a horror of helplessness. But from birth to great age, and in all the cataatrophies of life between, helplessness is what binds us together in the family of man: Advocates For Life, Feb., 11•1 • RiGHT TO LIFE MEMBERS Right To Life members please note: This advertisement replaces your January/February newsletter.
