200 gather
for protest
at Rudder
By Christie Yeates
Reporter
Approximately 200 pro-life dem
onstrators gathered yesterday in
front of Rudder Tower to protest
the 14th anniversary of the Roe vs.
Wade Supreme Court decision,
which legalized abortion.
Baptist Student Union Director
Mike Graham said, “About 4,400
people are aborted every single day
in America. In 1987, 60 million peo
ple will be aborted in the world.”
Speakers at the rally spoke against
abortion, calling it murder. Howard
Atkinson, pastor of the Community
Bible Church, said that a fetus is a
person. He added that brainwaves
can be measured from the sixth
week of a baby’s life in the womb.
Dr. Leon Rasberry, a local gyneco
logist, said, “Through science, we
are able to prove more and more
that life exists in the womb early.”
Eventually, he said, life will be de
tected at conception.
Rasberry called doctors who do
abortions “hitmen,” saying they are
in business only to make money.
Judy Vaughn of Houston said she
had an emotional breakdown eight
years after having an abortion.
Alternatives to abortion were pre
sented by Judy Brueger, director of
the Brazos Valley Crisis Pregnancy
Service. She said her organization
helps women who want to continue
their pregnancies by providing fi
nancial and emotional support. The
service has a 24-hour-a-day hotline
and counselors.
“I am a promise, I am a possibili
ty,” were the words sung by 25 chil
dren from the Brazos Christian
School. DeeAnn Martin, a 18-year-
old adopted child, thanked her natu
ral mother for allowing her to live.
Chris Taylor, a junior applied math
major, and Ann Horton, a Texas
Transportation Institute research
assistant, both sang pro-life songs.
The rally was sponsored by the
Campus Crusade for Christ and the
Baptist Student Union.

Dallas (AP) — Chanting abortion
foes armed with black balloons
braved freezing winds Thursday in a
march to the courthouse where a
suit filed 14 years ago led to the
landmark Supreme Court decision
legalizing abortion.
About 1,000 protesters — some
pushing children in baby strollers —
marched five blocks in 30-mph
winds that pushed the chill factor to
12 degrees.
“We feel that in Dallas we have a
special responsibility to stop abor
tion,” said Bill Price, president of the
Greater Right to Life Committee.
“Rallies like this are important be
cause they show there is broad-based
public support for the pro-life
movement.”
Richard Land, named as an ad
ministrative aide to Gov. Bill Clem
ents, told the Dallas crowd to “ded
icate our memory to the 20 million
babies who have been sacrificed.”
In Austin, meanwhile, Pam Fri-
drich, Texas Abortion Rights Action
League executive director, said
abortion supporters are concerned
about Land’s appointment.
Clements said he appointed Land,
a professor of theology and church
history, to advise him on church-
state issues and issues concerning
“traditional family values.”
“Too often, traditional family va
lues is a euphemism for invasr l
privacy, second-place status I
women, slate-imposed restnj
on reproductive choice," Fn;|
said.
In 1970, a suit was filed in J
on behalf of Jane Roe, a fictj
name used by Norma McCoJ
McCorvey was a waitress v41
came pregnant after a gangrjJ
which she was also severely bJ
She was too poor to leave Texj

Price said at the rally,Todi;
stand here 14 years later with2
lion babies dead. Today isadt
national humiliation and a ts
mourn.”
In Austin, Fridrich said here
plans to oppose legislation
would make it difficult toobttr
abortion.
She said Rep. Billy Clemois
