v - r " p a v' w"v- " w w f r r i j V- . Abortion- debators-'ambiauitv1 Quoting sources rang-, Ing from the 14th amend-i merit 'to Associate Justice! Oliver Wendell Holmea, opponents in a Thurs. night Young Americans: for Freedom (YAF) abor-; tion debate agreed the i issue is , surrounded by cloud of "moral ambig uities." Before a group of 35' Bersons, Robert Stock,; NL English professor, spoke against liberalized abortion laws and the Rev. ! Charles Stephen of the; Nebraska Unitarian Church in Lincoln debated; for the laws. The reason for the! ambiguities, according to both, is because discus-: sion of the issue revolves : around a balancing of rights, balancing those of the. mother against those; of the fetus. The rights of the fetus are unclear, as interpreta-; tions as to when life begins vary, according to Stephen. , "But when we step on an acorn, are we killing a tree?" he asked In com parison. Human beings have a priority over potential human beings on the matter of rights, he said. , "The health, life, hap-: piness of women young; and old is more Important' than the theologically-, based laws" against abor-. tion,, . . according - to Stephen. ' ' . "We should examine, our own biases," said Stephen, when consider-: ing the Tightness or wrongness of abortion.; According to Stephen, re strictive abortion, laws only stopped "safe, mechanically-wise" abortions.; "Prior to the 1971 liberal ized New York laws, there were as many as 500,000 illegal abortions a year in' the United States," he said. Professor Stock, who established at the outset of the debate that he was not a fanatic or a Roman Catholic, said that every modern embryology sup ports the pro life argu ment. "The essential differ ence between the fetus and a newborn Is that we don't See the fetus, and can't relate to it", he said; He used progressive de-. velopment of the fetus as an argument against "in terruption of growth while still in the womb." StocK, appeaiiny iO ImS Constitution's 14th amendment, said that the amendment, once used td give blacks citizens' rights, Is now being used by the Supremo Court to deprive the fetus of its right. , . i As to the mother's rights, Stock said women have the right to decldo what happens to their own bodies, but that they are responsible to their bod ies too. "Life Is hard," he said. "We have to bear too consequences of our ac tion or elso suffer from moral cowardice 'and decadence." ... . ..'.i, i' friday, September's, V'V ' i 5 S 12 13 14 IS IS 17 18 20 22 23 24 27 32 33 34 35 33 39 49 42 AC&QSS'.
