Quoting
Interesting that Brandon
Shepard's quoting of scripture
to his own ends (and out of con
text) makes him a “surgeon” of
the Bible, while anyone he
disagrees with who does the
same is a '•butcher” (ODF Dec.
«)
He would be well-advised to
remember that the surgeons of
Biblical times were barbers,
farmers, and yes, butchers.
In five different Bibles 1 find
the word "abortion” not once.
Looking at the passages Mr.
Qr What’s better than a
shot in the dark?
A: A Resume from ODE
Graphic Services!
Shepard cites 1 find: Genesis !
says nothing about l.eah'8 hav
ing been barren. Exodus 21 con
tains. if anything, evidence that
God regarded fetuses as proper
ty and not persons. Assaults
against people (excluding
slaves, which were property)
resulting in death were
punishable by death. By con
trast. the penalty for causing a
miscarriage was merely a fine,
paid to the woman's husband.
Isaiah 44 and Jeremiah I offer
evidence that, at best, blessed
only some, not all fetuses.
There is no evidence that all
women of Sodom and Gomor
rah were free from pregnancy
prior to their destruction; in
deed the reverse seems likely.
Nor are we given reason to
assume universal barrenness
prior to the Great Flood. We are
told, repeatedly, that Hod
punished only wicked people:
either He regarded the fetuses
He killed as wicked, or He did
not regard them as people.
Whatever the case, they still
d ied.
We can't all be surgeons, and
if a search for logical consisten
cy is called butchery by some,
so be it.

Spirit
The Oregon volleyball team
and staff would like to thank all
the fans who came to our
volleyball matches this year.
The supportive spirit of our
home crowd was clearly the
best in the Pac-10. if not the en
tire country. A special note of
thanks to the Green Garter Band
and the •'Crazies” immediately
above them as well as the in
imitable Oregon Duck.
As Dorothy well knew, "there
is no place like home."
