By e-mail to FFL,FW: I was trying to post this comment to the abortion thread: Just popping in on this conversation, not having followed the thread, but for what it’s worth, Maharishi used to say that the soul enters the body several months into the pregnancy. Prior to that, abortion is like “removing a wart” – his words. After that, it would have more serious implications. There’s a story at the beginning of the Mahabharata where a woman agrees to marry a king if he promises never to question anything she does. He agrees, and she ends up throwing the first 5 or 6 of her newborn children into a river. Finally, the king can’t stand it any more and objects, so that child lives. Turns out, the children were gods who had been cursed to take birth as human beings. They had worked out a plea deal in which their lives would be mercifully short. But the main offender was doomed to live an ordinary lifespan, so he was the one not thrown into the river. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emily.ma...@yahoo.com> wrote : That's been a point of mine for awhile - that it's a decision, a very personal decision, that the woman makes.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
That's been a point of mine for awhile - that it's a decision, a very personal decision, that the woman makes. It's not an easy one—not simply a cold, heartless, decision. A hard decision. A decision made as her hormones are ramping up to high levels and changing all the chemistry, let's remember. No doubt there are spiritual and emotional consequences that have to be personally worked through. It's not one where the woman should be condemned and vilified and accused of *murder.* Give me a break! Fear leads to procrastination and procrastination can lead to death. Most of the images shown are of "later-stage" (later than the 6 to 8 week optimal time) abortions, used to support the "pro-life" movement and rabid evangelists. The earlier the better for all involved and my belief is, that if we "decriminalized" it as a society, women would be better off and wouldn't have to face the kind of shame and blame that can lead to death. The best option is always to avoid pregnancy if not wanted, but that doesn't always happen in real life. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : I guess early on the fetus is just a "tissue", and really, I am not sure what the term is when abortions are legal, but many of the images of abortions I have seen don't look like just a mass of "tissue".

Of course the DNA isn't an exact match to the mother or father! Still an unborn potential, though and under the purview of the mother. That's the way God intended it, so to speak, and that's the way it is. We have animal bodies; many animals cull out the weak to die, reject their offspring after birth! 1/5 of pregnancies (or higher) end in miscarriage before 7 weeks. Spontaneous abortion. Not an act against nature. No woman should be forced to be a mother in today's world. We will continue to disagree.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
When Maharishi first came to the US, he had a *quaint* little saying that charmed everyone. "Nobody has the right to suffer". Aw, isn't that sweet, he doesn't want me to suffer and he has something to relieve mine. Later among his closer devotees, his teachers, he would say "all suffering is caused by sin". Put those two sayings together and you have "nobody has a *right* to sin". Maharishi also talked about dharma and adharma.When a nation is following dharma it prospers and the people tend to be happy, suffering is minimal. When adharma sets in, chaos begins to develop. Even George Washington was aware of this principle. He said in his inaugural speech that our nation could only expect the propitiation of God, his blessings, if we follow his natural order. Violate them and we lose his blessings. We used to be *one nation under God* receiving His blessings. But in the sixties, atheism had it's first victory by removing any mention of God from the public square. Removing any mention of God from schools and it spread out. We started becoming a secular nation. We started killing and even condoning the killing of our next generation. We sacrificed our next generation for our own comforts. If you didn't have kids, you could have more for yourself. Fifty- five million children have been aborted since Roe v Wade. Our nation is so divided with arguing and bickering that it may not last much longer. We are in a state of adharma,and receiving the consequences of it. From a Jude-Christian perspective, we are under God's judgement. Too many people want to protect their *right* to sin and avoid any sense of judgement about it and all call it *freedom* or even *freedom from religion*. Enjoy your *rights* now because the times ,they are a changing.

"Apples and oranges" in the sense that there is no way to even try to tie a decision on whether or not to bring a new life into the world to a decision by a crazed psychopathic madman to kill human beings already here! Sorry, can't get there. Yes, most agree that humans have "free will" - and free will is involved in both those decisions - if that's what you mean.

Therefore, it is mine to make. I think abortion should be legal, safe, affordable and de-stigmatized. If a woman of any age, for any reason, isn't ready to have a child, and finds herself pregnant, than she should be allowed the option to abort and it should be a medically safe procedure.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
Long day Mike? Of course the newborn can live on its own. After all, it has been "born!" If the babe is not cared for, it will die, but that's not what we're talking about here. Most abortions occur before 8 weeks gestation - a collection of cells barely beginning to form into tissue. "Murder" is the premeditated taking of a human being's life. No human being there, Mike. Simply the potential - many things go wrong. Ultimately, Mike, you blame the mother in all cases—whether she aborts in accordance with her free will and belief system and/or economic or married state—or, if she has the child, and finds herself unsupported in a myriad of ways and in need of help. You kick her and her child both, who you choose to legitimize as a child and revere only in the "unborn" state (kids are so much easier to deal with when unborn!) to the curb, and then sit on the sidelines and judge and mock and resent having any responsibility for as a member of our society and go even further and suggest she should get her tubes tied!

And, perhaps the plan for the "life" is to remain *unborn*, or to be born through/in other circumstance. Assuming, also, you believe in the "soul energy" and "eternal life."

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
Except one thing Emily, that verse goes on to describe God's plan for Jeremiah's life. "I set you apart to be a prophet to the nations". A prophet is a man that God speaks through to the rest of humanity, in this case, the *nations*, gentiles, non- Jews.\ And in this very verse, the prophetic voice is saying to the nations that God creates life in the womb and has a plan for that life, even that he knew you before he created you in the womb. This very verse describes why abortion is murder and unacceptable. When you kill the fetus, you kill God's work.

Maybe, take that relationship to your heart and put some of your hard earned retirement time where your mouth is and exercise that other quality that Jesus has—compassion. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Ollie, one can get hung up in *religion* or hung up in a relationship with the Almighty.

Re: "Service and compassion? Is the woman killing her unborn child offering either?" Is an unborn "child" a child of this world? Perhaps the "unborn" child is just that..a child of God and under God's domain, not yours! In answer to your first question, the answer is "yes." Why do you think you know God's plan? Kind of arrogant, don't you think? I've said enough, Mike. I don't choose to play God myself and it isn't my job to ultimately "judge" you, so I don't. I will tell you that I don't have a history of volunteering either. I recently began volunteering for an organization that runs homeless shelters for families - at one location alone, there are 50 children. Fifty!!! These aren't parents that are drug addicted - none of those unfortunate souls are allowed to reside there - too many children at risk. The cost of housing here in Seattle has risen far above many working families ability to afford it. It's a real eye opener, I will tell you. I am also renting out part of my house soon—to help out my own situation and also to practice a more open way of being. Believe me when I tell you I have some lessons to learn also.

I was once present when Maharishi was asked if there would be any karmic difference in eating yogurt if the bacteria in yogurt was of the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. He looked very serious and said "yes and it would be worth knowing( if the bacteria was animal or plant)" Evidently he had never given yogurt any thought concerning the matter. While I give MMY all due respect, his word doesn't mean much in my life or my world. While I am happy to hear what he might have to say about yogurt, he doesn't appear to have much insight based on your account here. How much more value is the life of an innocent human being over that of yogurt bacteria? I can't answer that question, just as I can't make a value judgement about what "value" innocence has or what that word really even means. Does an "innocent" human being have more value than a non-innocent one? Is it not as bad to kill a non-innocent human? If you will recall the talk about the woman that had an affair with Maharishi, she asked him what should she do if she ever got pregnant by him and his response was "get married, quickly!" But not to him. I think he indicated that he would arrange something. But he certainly didn't advise an abortion as I recall. Even though he could have to save his reputation. Having an abortion might ruin his reputation more, who knows? I know nothing about this woman. Did she have the child? Does that child know who its father is? Do you think Maharishi advising having the baby but disowning it makes him a better person than if he had advised an abortion? Anne, you could justify Hitler's murder of the Jews as *life sustaining* for the future of the Third Reich by your logic! Not by my logic but, evidently, by yours. We're talking about a fetus vs fully-formed, functioning human beings, ie Jews. I'm not talking about the Third Reich, I'm talking about the mother, another fully-formed functioning human being. Her well-being may be at stake here with reference to her choice to terminate or not terminate the life of a developing fetus. Killing an innocent life is not life supporting or sustaining for anyone. That's a pretty big blanket statement, again, what constitutes "innocent", I have to ask again - not to mention, how could you possibly know or conceive of all of the ways in which killing someone (even an undeveloped person - fetus) might result in something warranted or necessary or good? Not the one killed because their life has been unjustly taken and not for the one killing because that karma will come back to haunt them and possibly at the worst time. Perhaps, if one were to actually believe in something called "karma". Put in simplest of terms, you have an abortion because the last thing you need in life is another mouth to feed. Huh? I think there are a whole shwack of other reasons why women have abortions - you make it sound so superficial and selfish. You die later and when it's your time to come back and perhaps there is someone waiting for you that could change the direction of your eternal life, a real savior, a master with important knowledge for you, a once in a million shot, waiting for you but you reap your karma from the last human experience and you are aborted before your destiny can be fulfilled. Hey, life's a bitch and then you die! Just so you didn;t have to raise a child that you didn't want. Again, if there is, in fact, reincarnation, karma and enlightened Masters. I'm not convinced about any of it. If one is going to err, it is better to err on the side of life, not convenience or not being responsible for your actions. Again, you assume much about the reason(s) why women might chose to terminate a growing life. Let's just throw out, randomly, a few other reasons why one might want to have an abortion - just for shits and giggles: Your father raped you You are 11 years old and were raped by your brother or someone else You were raped by someone with AIDS You become pregnant and early testing detects very serious birth defects in the fetus You have 6 children, are living in a shack in a third world country, the husband and father is a violent alcoholic who regularly beats and sodomizes you and your offspring Your health is such that having a child might kill you You are HIV positive From: "awoelflebater@...

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
Think on this Anne. I was once present when Maharishi was asked if there would be any karmic difference in eating yogurt if the bacteria in yogurt was of the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. He looked very serious and said "yes and it would be worth knowing( if the bacteria was animal or plant)" Evidently he had never given yogurt any thought concerning the matter. How much more value is the life of an innocent human being over that of yogurt bacteria?If you will recall the talk about the woman that had an affair with Maharishi, she asked him what should she do if she ever got pregnant by him and his response was "get married, quickly!" But not to him. I think he indicated that he would arrange something. But he certainly didn't advise an abortion as I recall. Even though he could have to save his reputation.Anne, you could justify Hitler's murder of the Jews as *life sustaining* for the future of the Third Reich by your logic! Killing an innocent life is not life supporting or sustaining for anyone. Not the one killed because their life has been unjustly taken and not for the one killing because that karma will come back to haunt them and possibly at the worst time. Put in simplest of terms, you have an abortion because the last thing you need in life is another mouth to feed. You die later and when it's your time to come back and perhaps there is someone waiting for you that could change the direction of your eternal life, a real savior, a master with important knowledge for you, a once in a million shot, waiting for you but you reap your karma from the last human experience and you are aborted before your destiny can be fulfilled. Hey, life's a bitch and then you die! Just so you didn;t have to raise a child that you didn't want. If one is going to err, it is better to err on the side of life, not convenience or not being responsible for your actions.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
Yo, those two objects between your legs are referred to as "testicles", not "ovaries", so I hate to break it to you, but you will never be able to give birth, or have an abortion. Therefore your opinion on abortion is about as meaningless as if you had one on breast pumps. Nothing personal, but I think it is a good idea if we each stick to opinions on our own equipment, period. Otherwise, it just sounds mean-spirited, sexist, anti-social, arrogant, selfish, and dictatorial, OK? The other side of that single parent coin: Yeah, there is a breakdown of the family, in line with stagnation of wages, union busting, jobs going overseas, the economic destruction of the middle class, etc. making the option for a stay-at-home parent very difficult, or impossible. Once both parents were required to work, it became much more difficult to raise families - day care is very expensive. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Chill Anne, nobody blamed Hillary for kids being screwed up.

Again, because they never had adequate guidance growing up from mom or dad. Of course, they have ample access to birth control these days, even the big *A*(abortion) that I'm 100% against. There's no excuse for 50% or better of children being born out of wedlock and then expecting society to raise them while mom keeps knocking out more of the same and continues to compound the problem.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
Emily, I was stating the facts. People wonder why we have so much crime and violence in society. This is part of the problem, the break down of the traditional family, two parents raising children responsibly. Generally speaking, it's too difficult for one parent to raise children successfully. Pointing that out seems to cramp some people's style. If you can't recognize the problem and face it, you can't fix it.

Re: [FairfieldLife] This is what Amerika's gonna be...
This woman, now a police detective (Kim Bogucki) was a mom down the street and I went to her house as a kid after school for awhile when my Ma was working. If the situation of single-parent households upsets you, perhaps you should volunteer yourself to do some good, instead of sitting on your rear end, judging and blaming. Most kids who grew up in households without discipline craved discipline and wished they had a family that required them to come home for dinner at 6—they wish they had someone in their lives growing up who cared enough. You continue to err in assigning blame to "single parent households" as a categorical reason for what you describe below. A simplistic justification that allows you to sit back in your Christian/Hindu armchair, and demonize, dehumanize and blame the category. You could stop pussyfooting around and actually get involved somewhere; you'd be surprised how a desire to do good (instead of just mentally masturbating on it) and how hands on, real life experience might broaden your perspective. You have something to give back to the country and people and opportunities that allowed you to retire comfortably in your retirement. What is it?

Yes, let's blame Hillary for this and blame single-parent families for ignorant children or those who act out, become hellions. Of course, you seem to assume that most single-parent families are headed by women (those good-for nothing deadbeat dads just love to run off and knock up someone else while high on some drug or other) - so let's add their lack of parenting ability to the list.
