The Encroaching Death Culture
Steve:
Abortion is a deadly, zero-sum game. There is no logical endpoint. If we fail to push back the line between life and death, it will encroach ever farther until adults with defective belief systems are its final victims. The horrific brutality of the Chinese regime provides a glimpse of the direction we ourselves are headed.

Thanks for the Help!
Dear Steve Mosher,
Greetings from Strathmore College in Nairobi, Kenya. Last year I asked for information to help write a paper on the US military policy ethics, including psychological warfare against populations, in Africa. I wrote the paper and presented it at the Joint Services Conference on Professional Ethics.
It is a long paper, with many quotations. One section of the paper is an abridgement of the two-part article on Nigeria written by Elizabeth Liagin for the PRI Review [July/Oct. 1998 & Dec. 1998/Jan. 1999]. Hopefully the paper will be read by some people who do not usually read your publications.
Sincerely yours,
David W. Lutz

Feel Free to Pass the Word
Dear Mr. Mosher
My name is Jerry Novotny. I subscribe to your email as well as your bimonthly newsletter. I am a Catholic priest working in Japan for 36 years and most of them have been in involved in pro-life work, which includes the population issue. Recently I have been asked by my congregation (The Missionaries of Mary Immaculate) to set up a website dealing with life issues, Could I have permission to use three, four articles of yours on our website and to also link your website to each article? Most of our priests are in leadership positions and your ideas and up-to-date news could be a tremendous source of invaluable knowledge to them.
Continue the good work and be assured of my continual prayers.
In Christ,
Fr. Jerry Novotny, OMI
Fr. Novotny, we’d be happy to give you permission to include any of our articles you wish on your website. Japan is facing a demographic crisis due to low birth-rates, and needs to hear the message that people are the solution not the problem.
Sri Lanka and Induced Abortion
Dear Sir:
I thank you very much for sending me the information: News Release: Putting People First. I am an academic member of a university in Sri Lanka and a researcher of reproductive health of women.
I have received information on population matters from you in the last few weeks. The information which I have received so far gave me, possibly, the most important, new dimensions about the conventional “population problem.”
I have been researching for the last ten years about the practice of induced abortion in Sri Lanka, and the data collected was a major part of my PhD thesis on induced abortion in Sri Lanka. When I was asked to be present at the viva examination of my PhD thesis, one examiner, a Professor of a Medical Faculty, asked a question: “Are you in favor of allowing induced abortion in Sri Lanka?”
I said, “Although I am involved in abortion research, I personally do not accept practicing induced abortion.”
My examiner asked again, “Then why are you doing abortion research?”
I replied. “Possibly, I may be able to persuade the planners, and program administrators about how to stop practicing induced abortion whether it is safe or unsafe.”
As such, I have a keen interest to share the views and experiences with you at the Population Research Institute. Please feel free to share your views with me in the future whenever possible, and I am happy to be in touch with you.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. P. Hewage, Senior Lecturer
University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka
