Activist urges support for new abortion laws
By Brenden Sager
Kansan staff writer
The sight of an aborted fetus with its body torn and bloodied was too much for Leyla Galmarini.
"When you hear about abortion you don't think about what one actually looks like," said Galmarini, Olathe first-year law student.
The sight was part of a seven minute film shown by Gregg Cunningham, executive director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform in Anaheim, Calif. He spoke yesterday afternoon in Green Hall to inform 13 KU students about the pro-life movement.
"Abortion is out of control in the United States," Cunningham said.
But Americans aren't willing to make a law against it, he said.
"People say abortion kills babies. People say it's done for the wrong reasons, but people don't say it's against the law," he said. "There's something about the word abortion that makes peoples' IQs drop about 30 points."
Cunningham said his organization was trying to form a grassroots campaign to make new abortion legislation. He has been traveling to various states trying get electoral support to make laws in individual states against abortion.
From this, he said he hoped to get enough support to make a constitutional amendment.
Cunningham's seven-month visit to Kansas was sponsored by the Heartland Life Network in Wichita. Cunningham has already spoken in Wichita, the Kansas City area and Leavenworth.
David Lee, representative of the network, said Monday that the network wanted to bring Cunningham
because of his organization's development of a comprehensive plan to bring a legal end to abortion.
At the University of Kansas, opinions on abortion vary widely. Many students support abortion rights.
But Don Marquis, professor of philosophy, also opposes abortion. His opinion has been published 17 times since 1989 in various academic publications — including a textbook used in his ethics class. He said that it was scheduled to be published many more times.
"The nutshell of the argument is the reason that it's wrong is because fetuses have valuable futures." Marquis said.
He said his area of research was medical ethics and that he dealt with issues such as abortion and euthanasia. Marquis said that killing was wrong in most instances.
"I think there are exceptions, but not a lot of them."
