DECLARATION OF MARY TABAYOYON
	[deletia]
11.  While at the base, I knew of several instances of staff
getting pregnant and being coerced to get an abortion.  Some instances
were relayed to me by the victims themselves and others were relayed to
me by another.  In two instances, the couples to keep their child
despite extensive course of ethics method and thus were banished to a
failing Class IV organization.  In every instance they had to go through
ethics handling designed to prevent them that it would be far more
advantageous to Scientology and the Sea Org for each of them to have an
abortion.  Some of these women went through extensive pressure methods
to convince them to have an abortion.  The severity of the Ethics
handling was directly proportional to the prospective mother's desire
and insistence to keep the child.  I myself got pregnant in 1993 and
gave up my child due to my greatly misguided obligation and dedication
to the Sea Org.

16.  A friend of mine, Betty Hardin, who works in the treasury
division of Golden Era Productions, told me that she used to transport
the pregnant women at the base to Riverside, California for their
abortions.  For about a year, she transported women almost weekly to the
Planned Parenthood Center, in Riverside, so that they could have their
abortions and follow up check ups that were needed.  She said it just
became routine.  Pregnant Sea Org members were sent to the Planned
Parenthood Center to get their abortions.  When they returned to the
base they went to Ethics.

23.  The following are the brief stories of women I knew who had
abortions after undergoing coercive ethics sessions and being threatened
with exile to a Class IV organization.  Because this topic wasn't
something that we were supposed to talk about, for the sake of Public
Relations, within and outside the Base to protect the women involved
from retribution and to preserve their privacy, I have not given their
names.


A. Case I:  She was my friend and also worked in my department at
the time of her pregnancy and abortion.  She appeared very upset about
it and really wouldn't talk about it at first.  I got her to talk about
it one day when we were alone.  She said she would have loved to have
kept her baby but after she got through her ethics cycle (which I
remember lasted for at least a week) she realized she wasn't ready to
have a child.  (She was 20 years old).  She said her husband was
completely thrilled she was pregnant and wanted so much to keep the
baby.  He was very adamant on keeping the baby.  But after the ethics
cycle he looked at the fact that he would probably never be able to come
back to the base and he would lose his beloved job and position in Gold.
He would have to go to a Class IV Org.  At any rate, the ethics actions
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.
