Dr. Edwin H. Palmer of Wayne, New Jersey herewith presents the second and concluding installment of his article on Abortion: the Crucial Issue. Dr. Palmer is the Executive Secretary for the Committee on Bible Translation of the New York Bible Society. Following are two more common arguments advanced for easier abortion laws: 7.

The crucial issue in the matter of abortion is this: Is the unborn child the image of God or not? Is he a human with an eternal destiny, or is he a mere glob a bit of tissue? Is he an individual distinct from his mother, or is he a part of the mother, like […]
WASP! Bah! Prejudiced White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. They hate the Blacks, despise the Latins, and fight the Catholics. They think that pure America is white and that is how our good country started. They believe that the Blacks came to America later and cause the trouble America is having today. The WASPs think that the Anglo-Saxons […]
