Theos-Talk Archives (September 1995 Message tl00731)

Gruess Gott Stephan,

You can just start writing to our list, if you want to. We're
very informal. But it would also be nice to know a little bit
about who you are. Do you belong to a theosophical group in
Switzerland? Where do they meet & what kinds of things do you
talk about?
What theosophical books have you read?

I have some very definite ideas on abortion, but they don't
have much to do with theosophy, just with what I think is
practical for living. I'm for leaving the decision to the
woman, her husband, if any, & her doctor. I'm "eine alte Dame",
and, in my lifetime i've seen the tragedies which can occur
when women go for illegal abortions, & some of them will do
that, whether the whole world decides to believe in abortions
or not. Has nothing to do with theosophy, except that I don't
like to see people risk their lives, or their health
needlessly.

I've visited your beautiful country once, a while ago. I used
to have an Aunt in Basel. Now I've only got a cusin, Rolf, who
lives in the country somewhere near there, but I haven't heard
from him in many years. My son & grandchildren went skiing in
your Alps, when they lived in Paris. I myself was born in
Frankfurt am Main, but I came to the States when I was 11. I
still remembr my German, but it's a bit rusty.

Namaste
Liesel
