▪ Friday, August 18, 1918 39 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Jews Are Accused of Leading California Pro-Abortion Fight SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — Anti-abortion groups in California have accused the Jewish community of lead- ing a pro-abortion fight in the state legislature, with an unaffiliated Jew acting as a leading spokesman for that charge, according to a report scheduled for publi- cation last week in the San Francisco Jewish Bulletin. The Jewish State Assem- bly floor leader, Howard Berman, called the charges "revolting and disgusting," and "racist." The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of San Francisco received three mailgrams and a number of telephone calls within a few days from three anti-abortion groups: Mobilization for the Un- named, Crusade for Life and the Pro-Life Medical As- sociation of California, Phil Do YOU KNow CLANIDIGGERS GETS SEAFOOD FREsViovERNIWT FROM eos-roti?

Anti-abortion spokes- men threatened, in the telephone calls, to picket Jewish organizations if the "Jewish community" did not "change its posi- tion on abortion," Brons- tein wrote. The mail- grams charged the "polit- ical support for abortion funding" by the state came "mainly from vari- ous Jewish organiza- tions" and that "political pressure" was applied by "the Jewish community" on legislators to include abortion funding in the state budget.. The mailgrams also cited "Gentile support for Jewish issues," mentioning Israel specifically and asked for a Jewish return of that "favor." Some legislators had proposed inclusion of funds for abortions in the state budget, but after a lengthy and bitter debate the legis- lature eliminated funds for abortion from the budget with a few exceptions, the Bulletin reported. These in- cluded state-funded abor- tion for rape victims and cases where the mother's life would be endangered by her pregnancy. The Jewish anti-abortion spokesman, one of those cal- ling the JCRC here, is Tom Mitzner of Torrance, Calif., who is connected with the California Pro-Life Council, an umbrella agency for some 26 anti-abortion groups. Mitzner reportedly told the JCRC that "everyone, " Jews and non-Jews, " knows Jews are behind the pro- abortion drive" in Sac- ramento, the state capi- tal, and that Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy and Gov. Jerry Brown, who both favored liberalized abortion Nuclear Power Plant Suspended JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel has suspended almost all preparations for the es- tablishment of a $1.3 billion nuclear power station at Nitzanim, south of Tel Aviv. The decision was made following a demand by the United States that Israel sign the international tre- aty against the prolifera- tion of nuclear weapons. The U.S. announced it would not finance the pro- ject, unless Israel signed the treaty. Israel's refusal to sign the non-proliferation treaty has been the subject of disag- reements with the U.S. for several years. Recently the U.S. refused to provide Is- rael with the necessary plans to operate such a sta- tion. Israel refused to sign the treaty because it would mean interna- tional supervision over all nuclear installations in the country, including the nuclear plant in Di- mona . funding, "are supported by Jewish money." He reportedly said "the Jewish community" should "call off' pro-abortion legis- lation or Jewish hospitals and organizations would be picketed and Jews would be accused of "genocide." Earl Raab, JCRC execu- tive director, told the Bulle- tin that the JCRC had no position on abortion, does not advocate a position and does not discuss the issue with legislators. Mitzner, an aerospace scientist in southern California, is a special ad- viser to Raoul Silva, presi- dent of the Pro-Life Council. Mitzner, contacted by the Bulletin, said seven Jewish groups — including the American Jewish Congress, the National Council of Jewish Women and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) — belong to the National Coal- ition for Abortion Rights. But, according to the Bulletin, these groups do not favor unrestricted abortion but suggested that decisions on abor- tion should be left to the woman, her doctor and her rabbi, if she is Jewish. Mitzner said the Pro-Life Council position is that abortion should be illegal except where the life of the mother is di- rectly threatened. Berman, a Democrat, who led the fight for liberalized abortion funding in the legislature, and who called Mitzner's charges "revolt- ing and disgusting," said his action and that of other legislators who shared his WANT A SKIMPY SANDWICH? DONT COME TO views "had nothing to do with the Jewish commun- ity. I don't even know what their position is."
