Page 4/The Battalion/Friday, January 23, 1987 Groups protest anniversary of legalized abortio Kay Lawless, principal of Brazos Christian School, directs students in singing “I Am a Promise” at a pro-life rally sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. The rally was Thursday at Rudder Fountain. 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. Anti-abortion group ignore cold in march to courthous- I bf. years 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.
