Cergy dffers
on decision
for abortions
by Adella W acker
Between the Lord and the law are two
interpreters, the clergy "and the court. Some UNL
campus feligious leaders agreed with the Supreme
Court ruling on abortion while others did not.
In a 7-2 decision, the rourt ruled on Jan. 22 that
states can not deny a woman the right to an abortion
during the first three months of pregnancy.
An abortion during the second three months,
according to the ruling, requires that the operation be
performed in a licensed hosDital or clinic.
During the last three months, however, the court
said, abortion may be performed only to save the life
or health of the mother.
The Rev. Duane Hutchinson, associate minister of
the Wesley Foundation, 640 N. 16th St, said he was
glad that the court separated its judgement according
to the trimesters of pregnancy.
When questioned about the ruling, Hutchinson
said: "My first and continuing reaction was joy and
relief."
He was one minister who said he had changed his
feelings about abortion, because of world population
growth.
Hutchinson, wh has been a campus minister for
11 years said he believes that the church's attitude
toward abortion for a defective fetus did not seem
like a "merciful approach."
The Rev. Larry Doerr, coordinator and minister of
United Ministries in Higher Education (UMHE), 333
N. 14th St, also said that he was "basically happy
about the decision surprised and happy."
UMHE has been doing problem pregnancv
counseling and Doerr said he would like to see
Lincoln have a "legitimate and well-run" abortion
clinic.
He said he believes the clinic would be more
economically feasible for women who could not afford
to go to New York for an abortion.
Doerr stressed, however, that implementing the
Supreme Court guidelines would put added responsi
bilities upon universities for sex education.
Baptist minister Wesley P. Hustad said he thinks
the decision may be "just catching up" 'with whaf s
happening in society.
The Baptist church hasn't announced an opinion
about abortion, he said." Baptists will make their own
decisions and manv may remain against abortions, he
added. sv
Episcopal minister Ronald CStfiley, 1309 R St.,
said he thought the ruling "was legitimate.'
A pluralistic society seems to need a law
permissive enough for those who, by conscience, feel
they want an abortion, he said.
Wiley said: "I have no quarrels with the decision. '
The minister of the Lutheran Chaptel, at 15th and
Q St, the Rev. A.J. Norden, said the church has
failed to aid the enactment of "less radical"
legislation.
The Rev. Alvin M. Peterson of the Lutheran
Student Chapel, 535 N. 16th, said: "I think that the
Supreme Court has liberalized abortion entirely too
much."
"Here is a life that has no chance of protection
and it has a riant to be defended as well as a person
who is able to speak for himself," he added.
The Rev. Leonard Kalin, a priest at St Thomas
Aquinas and Newman Student Center for three years
predicted that the Supreme Court action would do
more to unite Christians than any other movement
Soon after the announcement of the court ruling,
Lincoln Bishop, Glennon Flavin issued a letter which
all Catholic priests read from the pulpit the following
Sunday.
Kalin said his personal opinion does not differ
from that of the Catholic Church.
It is all human life, Kalin said, and Catholic
students will have to decide whether or not they can
accept abortions.
Kalin said he has told students: "Don't be phoney.
Don't go through the movements of being a
Catholic."

Fowjer termed agitator by Brauer
"I expected it to come sooner," State
Sen. Steve Fowler of Lincoln said after being
criticized Monday by S.H. Brauer during an
Education Committee public hearing on the
mandatory student fees issue.
Fowler served as president of ASUN
during the highly controversial Time-Out
Conference on Human Sexuality and World
in Revolution Conference on Justice in
America last year.
Brauer criticized Fowler during the
hearing for what Brauer called leading a
threatened mass violation of dormitory
visitation rules last February.
"At the time
students thought
I don't think the dorm
I was a leader," Fowler
said. He said any actions takervry him
during the visitation controversy were
totally legitimate and had the support of the
ASUN Senate.
Brauer quoted Fowler as saying if enough
dormitory students disobeyed visitation
regulations, UNL would not be able to
enforce them.
"It was more a statement of fact rather
than a call to arms," Fowler explained.
The freshman senator questioned whether
Brauer could prove student fee money was
used to "provide refreshments" for those
occupying the ROTC building during the
May 1970 student strike.
"If ever there was an expert at agitation,
Zeke Brauer is it," Fowler said.
