ow did a Jewish-civil liber-
tarian-atheist become a
pro-lifer?" asked popular
columnist Nat Hentoff at
the 25th annual Right to Life rally in
Detroit last week.
Nationally known for his ardent
liberalism on civil rights and criminal
justice, Hentoff headlined last
Sunday's rally at Wayne State
University that marked the 25th
anniversary of the landmark decision
that legalized abortion. He spoke on
"25 Years of Roe - With its
Unsuspected Effects."
Roe vs. Wade is the 1973 United
States Supreme Court ruling that
upheld the constitutional right to pri-
vacy, which the justices extended to a
woman's ability to terminate a preg-
nancy.
Hentoff opposes Roe vs. Wade in
part because, "There is a lot more to
abortion than abortion as we know it.
[Abortion] leads to other things: It has
caused a culture of killing and death
in this country."
Initially, Hentoff became immersed
in the abortion issue while covering an
abortion-related story for the Village

Voice, the New York newspaper in
which Hentoff has a column. He
began researching the subject in
greater depth, and soon found himself
squarely across the liberal line he usu-
ally toed.
At the rally, sponsored by Right to
Life-Lifespan of Metro Detroit,
Hentoff told an appreciative audience
of 200 that while he believed that "a
fetus should be afforded equal protec-
tion under law," many of his col-
leagues, friends, and even his wife
vehemently disagreed with him.
To Hentoff, the ruling that allows
abortion as a right to privacy shows
disrespect for human life. He fears
that the right to privacy will ultimate-r'
ly be extended to allow the right to
die when, under the same provision,
lawmakers legalize euthanasia and
assisted suicide. Hentoff, like most
Right to Lifers, strongly opposes
euthanasia and assisted suicide.
According to Hentoff, the "unsus-
pected effects" of Roe include argu-
ments that the right to die is also con-
stitutional.
"When assisted suicide and
euthanasia are viewed though the
prism of social inequality, those more
liable to be abused are the poor,
minorities and disenfranchised," he
said. Hentoff fears that those "least
