Life Communications - Volume 1, Number 2		February, 1991

On the American Front:

January 22nd marked the 18th anniversary of the infamous ROE vs. WADE
decision legalizing abortion during all nine months of pregnancy.  The
even was marked by yet another March for Life, attended by more that
25,000.  Representative Robert Dornan (CA) compared the casualties of
the then six-day- war in the Persian Gulf: US Casualties: 1 dead, 15
missing.  In the same time 20,000 children perished in the abortuaries
across the nation.  To add some perspective to this comment, someone
once said that "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic."
Would that we did not need to march year after year to protest the
estimated 1.2 Million tragedies each year.

Well - many must have heard that the State of Maryland recently passed
their own pro-choice legislation, defending a woman's right to kill
her preborn child, at least up to the time of viability outside the
womb.  There were several interesting additions to the bill, including
parental notification for minors.  The pro-life advocates have pledged
a referendum to take the decision directly to the voters.

The Pa-IFL is a coalition of pro-life college students from campuses
across Pennsylvania.  Founded in 1982, the IFL has been dedicated to
helping college students to stand up in the struggle against
infanticide, "mercy" killing, and abortion-on-demand.  They are noted
for their experience in starting pro-life organizations on campuses,
and have a quite a bit of supportive material including the very
useful "College Right-To-Life Handbook."  If you or anyone you know
wants help in starting a pro-life group, please contact me (steve).
