convinced them to be "good Sea Org members" and abort the child so they
could stay "On Purpose" in the Sea Org. "On Purpose" in the Sea Org
just means you are being and doing what is needed and wanted in
furthering the purpose of the Sea Org. 1 (Note: I will later explain
the coercive methods of the ethics techniques in Scientology).
B. Case II: Her husband worked in the same area I did at the time
of her first pregnancy. He confided in me as a friend, that his wife
was pregnant and had decided to keep the baby again! She had been
talked out of it once already by ethics but now decided again to keep
it.. I talked to her later and asked her if she was pregnant. She said
yes and that she was going to keep it. She said it very adamantly. I
said good. We discussed the reference in Hubbard's book, Dianetics. the
Modern Science of Mental Health, where Hubbard it very clear that he is
against abortions. (See Exhibit 2) She was clearly glad to have someone
on her side. Sometime later, I heard she went ahead and had the
abortion. She also landed on the Rehabilitation Project Force ("RPF").
The RPF is basically a prison camp in the Sea Org. Some months later, I
was told she got pregnant again. The fact she became pregnant against
while on RPF is remarkable because RPFers' living quarters are
segregated from those of other Sea Org members on the base (including
spouses) and by her husband was under guard because he was believed to
be security risk during her incarceration. This time rather than submit
to an abortion she successfully escaped from the base and never returned
to the Sea Org. We later found out that she went to England and had her
baby there. I read the letter Tina sent her sister. She had sent
pictures of her beautiful baby girl. She was a very proud mother and
very much in love with her baby.
C. Case III: I was told that sometime in 1986, Case III got
pregnant. It was a huge flap because she had always, up to that time,
been a top Commodores messenger (meaning L. Ron Hubbard's messenger).
She and her husband were very determined to keep the baby. She was put
through very extensive ethics, with heavier and heavier threats and
penalties until She finally submitted and had her abortion. Around
1990, I saw that he had gotten pregnant again. Coincident with her
pregnancy I saw her off post and only doing manual labor. Her husband
told me that they were determined to keep their baby. Months later they
both successfully escaped. They have not returned to the Sea Org, and I
understand that she and her husband have been blessed with an adorable
son.
D. Case IV: I was told she was pregnant. She went through Ethics
Procedure and had an abortion.
E. Case V: She appeared to be going through hell. She often
looked as though she'd been crying. She often looked to be in a state
of emotional collapse. I tried to be extra friendly and tried to get
her to talk, but she just put on a smile and changed the subject. She
and her husband were taken off post and put through extensive ethics
handlings because they were determined to have the baby. Then one day I
saw them both looking happy and back on post. I asked the husband about
what had happened with their baby. He said they had both gone through
the lower ethics condition formulas and came out of "Doubt", and she had
gone ahead and gotten an abortion. Months later I saw her looking like
she was in shock and mentally destroyed after being thrown in the lake
with about 6 other Qual staff for not making a target of what they were
assigned to accomplish that day. She later blew with another man who
was also on staff in the same division.
F. Case VI: I was told Case VI got pregnant and had her abortion
while married to one of Scientology's senior managers. I saw her break
up with and divorce her husband. Later, she married another Sea Org
member at the base. After that she was sent to the RPF.
G. Case VII: I was told Case VII got pregnant and was made to get
an abortion by the use of ethics procedures. She mentally collapsed.
Having the abortion destroyed her emotionally. She has never been the
same since the abortion. She used to be happy and fun to fool around
with but after her abortion, it was hard to ever get her to cheer up and
joke around anymore. This was related to me by Case VII's best friend.
H. Case VIII: This couple managed to maintain their own sense of
integrity and not give up their child. They were undergoing Ethics
handlings for about a month before they were finally allowed to go to a
Class IV Organization, and thus keep their baby. Ethics was trying to
coerce then into having an abortion. They were considered in Treason
when they left, and they were talked about spitefully at staff meeting,
basically being labeled, deserters. It was as if they left the Sea Org
which is considered about the worst crime you can commit amongst, Sea
Org members.
I. Case IX: This couple opted to leave, due to her pregnancy.
