Statement of Principles circa 1990, page two.
It should be noted that the major shake ups mentioned above would be far more in the area of our internal concepts/outlooks
than in the area of noticeable mechanical functions/interactions. As far as our pro- choice position statement goes...The
Sunrise Foundation supports and holds the concept of a persons natural right to sovereignty over their body as very dear
to the bedrock, core values, upon which all issues concerning individual/societal freedoms are based. We know that this issue
is replete with sound moral concerns from both sides, but we believe, overwhelmingly that the approach to how this issue
is dealt with must stay within the operational boundaries of choice and free will, especially since it involves a persons
right to being sovereign over ones own body. We find that the "process" of an abortion "in
the/or around the" period in which the fetus becomes viable to be as disturbing a proposition as do others who oppose
this process.. If the mothers life or health is not at risk I do not believe it would be appropriate to force another person/doctor
who was apposed to participation, to participate in such a process. In cases such as rape or incest other processes
could be available..but at some point personal responsibility, when severe emotional or other problems cannot be noted, must/must
become a part of the considered process.
