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.

with emotional turmoil.  A close associate of mine recently had an abortion.  
It was, in my opinion the right decision and she felt good about it, but now, 
several months later, she is struggling a bit emotionally.
 

 I would also have to say, that I don't think a fetus, from a spiritual 
perspective, is likely to have a "better luck next time" attitude about the 
whole event.  I believe there is a behind the scenes scenario that plays out 
whereby a soul prepares to reincarnate.  At what point that soul may enter, or 
take ownership of the fetus, I don't know.  Perhaps, if I had a better 
understanding of that more esoteric aspect of "it", I would have a better idea 
of what, if any, are the unseen implications of an abortion.

   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

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. Signing off. :)

 What if  the soul doesn't *enter* the body. Buddha taught and is more commonly 
accepted in Hinduism that their isn't reincarnation, the transmigration of the

experience.When the nervous system is developed enough for the individual. At 
what point is that? Nobody knows. It could be different for each person. What 
makes that person an individual are the samskaras of a previous existence. When 
the nervous system is developed enough to begin to manifest the qualities of 
those samsakaras. Nobody knows when or how. We do know that infants that are 
currently being aborted can feel pain and pleasure. They can relax and tense 
up. Nobody knows when the *I* factor begins. What we do know is that those 
cells have the unique coding or DNA of another human being , not the mother not 
the father, a different being. Maharishi used to talk about a story in the 
Puranas about the master telling the disciple about holding an enormous banyan 
tree in the palm of his hand. He just picked up a seed from the tree. Within 
that seed,there was the DNA for that tree that it fell from. Once that seed 
sprouts, it is alive. Once the cells of the zygote begin to divide, it is 
showing *life*.

 We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and 
endowed from their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them the 
right to *life* liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

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.

    Well, I have no intention to have a conversation about "God's will" I 
assure you.  My general purpose in referencing "God's plan" and "God's will" 
was to refute your seeming arrogant surety that you are *RIGHT*, morally or 
spiritually in your assessment and condemnation of women who choose to exercise 
their right to abort.  
"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.  
If you want to keep the "blame" game going in your head, here's an idea.  Focus 
on how states could legislate male reproductive rights.  Creative guy that you 
are, you should be able to come up with something!  It's not like women are 
experiencing "immaculate conception," after all. 
I hate to tell you, and perhaps I'll suffer in hell for awhile for this, but I 
don't really consider abortion even a moral issue.  I believe in the woman's 
right to choose, period.  There is no way on God's green earth I'm going to 
anyone, let alone a male dictate that decision for me.  I will bear the 
ultimate responsibility for my decision, either way.  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.  I believe strongly in birth control, in sex 
education, in educating boys and girls, and in the woman's right to choose.  
Consciously!

What if  the soul doesn't *enter* the body. Buddha taught and is more commonly 
accepted in Hinduism that their isn't reincarnation, the transmigration of the 
soul but *rebirth*. Awareness dawns when when the body is capable of 
experience.When the nervous system is developed enough for the individual. At 
what point is that? Nobody knows. It could be different for each person. What 
makes that person an individual are the samskaras of a previous existence. When 
the nervous system is developed enough to begin to manifest the qualities of 
those samsakaras. Nobody knows when or how. We do know that infants that are 
currently being aborted can feel pain and pleasure. They can relax and tense 
up. Nobody knows when the *I* factor begins. What we do know is that those 
cells have the unique coding or DNA of another human being , not the mother not 
the father, a different being. Maharishi used to talk about a story in the 
Puranas about the master telling the disciple about holding an enormous banyan 
tree in the palm of his hand. He just picked up a seed from the tree. Within 
that seed,there was the DNA for that tree that it fell from. Once that seed 
sprouts, it is alive. Once the cells of the zygote begin to divide, it is 
showing *life*.
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and 
endowed from their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them the 
right to *life* liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

 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!

   That is a step in the right direction, though you are hanging out with the 
wrong deity if they consider abortion to be murder. You say the mother is being 
selfish. Fine, let her be selfish. There is no way to consider the termination 
of a being that cannot live on its own, "murder". It has never been so defined.

 FW: Dear Revered Friend of Maharishi University of Management:
 I am going to retire as President of Maharishi University of Management on 
Founder's Day, September 12th, after 36 years as President.
 I will be devoting my time to my duties as Prime Minister of the Global 
Country of World Peace, and as International President of Maharishi 
Universities of Management.
 I am proposing to the Board of Trustees that Raja John Hagelin be appointed as 
President of the University. He is tops in knowledge, both in science and 
Maharishi Vedic Science, a charismatic and inspiring figure, and has proven his 
administrative and marketing skills by increasing the number of people in the 
US learning Transcendental Meditation tenfold in just a few years.
 He has agreed that he is willing to do this, and I feel sure that the Board 
will support him in this role (he is already Honorary Chairman of the Board of 
Trustees, and the University's most senior faculty member, researcher, and 
public speaker). He has expressed his admiration for the existing faculty and 
administrative teams at the University who have vast experience, and feels with 
their help he will be able to manage everything well.
 He also says he already has ideas how to promote the University more, and 
attract more students, including building a closer relationship between 
Maharishi Foundation and Maharishi University of Management, and calling upon 
the skills and contacts of Dr. Bob Roth to raise the University's profile. This 
will also include greater promotion of the unique knowledge offered by the 
faculty of the University at special conferences Raja Hagelin will organize.
 He has also mentioned his desire to be able to consult with me on any issues 
that may come up, and I of course am very happy to do that.
 We will also bring out this change in the leadership during the Commencement 
ceremony on June 18th, without taking too much time.
 I do feel strongly that this is a great step of progress for Maharishi 
University of Management, and will lead to the faster expansion we all desire.
 Raja John Hagelin and I have had a chance to discuss this with Maharaja 
Adhiraj Rajaraam to gain his perspective, and he feels this is a very good move.
 Thank you all for your kindness and loving support through all the years! You 
have done and are doing so much for Maharishi University of Management and the 
whole world!!! Please continue your support and expand it if you can!
