What Happens After Oeath?
1 have just finished reading an article by
William Wh ikehart, "What Happcns After
Death?" 1 am interested and would like to
have the free articles offered. 1 havc been
searching the Bible for about three years
now for the real truth. Much of what was
contained in this article 1 have found and
marked in my Bible, but my search
i~
surely
most iocomplete. 1 have read the
81bl~

my life. and of course read all these. thmgs,
but in the last year l have been read10g and
really seeing. Needless to say. 1 am per–
plexed, upset, and most coofused .

Abortion
1
have to agree with the Supreme Court's
decision on abortion, not because
1
con–
done abortion, but because the court has
taken th is very mora l. very controversia!,
very personal issue
an~
given it
t?
the
people, rather than conuoue 10 bave. n. ma–
nipulated by the state. Tbe court
w¡IJ¡~gly
conceded tbat at this time it " ... is no t 10 a
position to spec ulate as to the answer," by
which they admit that they are not knowl–
edgeable enough to pass_judgme nt on .the
morality, legality, J.ustlce, o f
a~oru ?n
"when those trained 10 the respecuve diS–
ciplines of medicine. philosophy, and theol.:
ogy are unable to arnve at any consensus.
You, yourself said that " religio n is
hop~
lessly divided o n doctrines and on what 1s
truth. " Ycu a lso sa id that "Governments
are no solutio n. Governments may pass
laws and sometimes enforce them. bu t they
are neitber teachers nor custodians of mor–
a ls. short of crimes." And to me this is the
way it should be. The government should
not be the keeper o f our mind, o r morals.
or religioo, but merely our
freed~m.

What right bavc you or anyonc to say if a
woman
HAS
to have a baby? She and
only
she should be ablc to make the decision.
Why should she have to suffer having a
baby she doesn ' t want? And the . baby
wouldn't be loved or cared for once
11
was
born.
lf ever
1
were pregnant,
1
would ra ther
die than have a baby.
1
would probably
have a mental brcakdown. Of course l' m
only speaking for myself. but l'm sure that
thcrc are others who would suffer mental
stress over such an unfonunate mishap.
