Subject:      ABORTION: WHEN Does Human Life BEGIN?

                     ABORTION: WHEN DOES HUMAN LIFE BEGIN?

               The debate about the abortion issue really boils down to
          a question of when human life begins.  Many "pro-lifers" are
          fundamentalist Christians but are unable to quote any clear
          statements from their Bible indicating that human life begins
          at conception.  [And most of them, especially the Catholics,
          are also against artificial birth control, which would
          PREVENT the unwanted pregnancies to begin with!]  They are
          apparently either ignorant of, or ignoring, GENESIS 2:7,
          which states: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the
          ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE,
          and man became a living Soul.".

               This Biblical statement indicates that human life begins
          (Soul enters its new body) WHEN THE BODY TAKES ITS FIRST
          BREATH OF AIR OUT-side THE WOMB.  Therefore, if an aborted
          fetus's lungs are too undeveloped to breathe, or if an older
          fetus is biologically terminated INside the womb, then that
          abortion can NOT be called "murder", because NO Soul was
          present in the fetus.


               Another thing to consider is that each of us is
          surrounded by a protective energy field usually called an
          "AURA".  A few people, including the late Edgar Cayce, can
          actually see colored AURAs around people.  The Canadian
          scientist Frances Nixon developed a way to locate the boun-
          daries of a person's AURA.

               One of the AURA's main purposes is to shield out
          discarnate entities from a person's body.  If an AURA becomes
          weak, because of illness, injury, etc., discarnate entities
          can sometimes invade and cause insanity, multiple personali-
          ties, etc..

               THE AURA OF A HEALTHY PREGNANT MOTHER WOULD LIKEWISE
          PREVENT A SOUL FROM ENTERING THE FETUS INSIDE HER.


               The purpose of laws in a free country like the United
          States should be to protect INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, and prevent
          it from being violated by others, NOT to stifle it in the
          name of power, control, exploitation, orthodox RELIGION, or
          the money-god.  Any man-made law which fails that test is
          automatically and immediately UN-Constitutional, null and
          void.

               The INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM of a pregnant mother to control
          her own body must likewise be protected.


               If the "pro-lifers" would show as much concern for
          People AFTER birth as they do for fetus's before birth, the
          world could rapidly become a decent place to live in.


               UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
          IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED.
