Connors calls abortion "bottom line" BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Major John J.H. Connors spoke on human life and posed the question: 'What lies ahead?' at the Goderich and District Pro Life annual banquet Tuesday evening. "As one who is quite conversant with the trends in our society relevant to human life, I find it incredible that we are corning to look on human life in Canada as truly utilitarian rather than unique and sacred," he stated. Major Connors, who lives in Ottawa, , is .:a . health services con- sultant •providing professional services to Pro Life education organizations • across Canada, mainly in Ontario. He has written a number of precises on the Presbytery.... • from page 15. that M & S funds had reached nearly $200,000 in Huron -Perth by August 31. This represents -47 - percent of the goal, slightly ahead of Con- ference and National levels but two percent behind last year. Com- mpac, a new visitation program for churches in the 80s will be ready for use in early 1981. Secretary, Eric LeDrew ' advised that inductions had been completed for the following: the Reverend Alun Thomas into Bayfield - pastoral charge; the Reverend DonaldPletsch, Mitchell; the Reverend Charles Swan, Walton, the Reverend David Northey, Mon kton and the Reverend Alex Filshie, Sebringville. The new ministers to the area were recognized by the chairman and the court. The transfer of the Reverend C•amillia LaRouche of the Kirkton- Woodham charge to Barrie United was ac- cepted as was the resignation of Paul Schott as student supply from the Centralia charge as' of October 31. The Reverend Wilena Brown of Varna was elected to fill the vacancy of the Reverend Bruce Eaton to ' the ttetlouree Centre Board. pro life subject. He says that abortion is just 'the bottom line' and with it goes euthanasia (mercy killing), genetic research and even human experimentation. Having served 32 years in the army medical corps `where the name of the game was saving lives', he says what is going on today is 'chillingly' reminiscent of Hitlers era. "Many men laid their lives on the line to, enhance the dignity of human life. West Ger- mans today Will not commit abortion because Of their experiences with Hitler. I feel it's im- portant to get the facts before the public and let them make up their own minds. The problem is that people don't realize what is happening just like the people in Ger- many in the 1930s." Major Connors feels that abortion is just part of a whole new trend and a different way of looking at life. He feels it leads to other distasteful prac- tices and gives, as an example, several cases out of a Wipe i.pe..g hos-pital—ie-a-P o-.L.ife_organiz.ation— in eastern Ontario and at that time he says it became apparent to him that there was an im- portant need for such services. "I subordinated my regular practice to devote myself full time to research results were the Pro Life movement, published in a scientific seven days a week." Major. Connors does a lot of travelling, giving workshops, seminars and speeches. He has even helped to write by=laws for several Pro Life organizations. He has a law degree and a masters degree in hospital ad- ministration. In his work, Major Connors says he tries to merely present the facts to people andlet them - make their own value judgements. While in the area, he also spoke at St. Anthony's Church in Kincardine and taped a t.v. interview and went on an open line radio show with Bill Thompson journal. Those who published the research have so far been able to satisfy the attorney - general's office -that the babies were dead but the battle is continuing. - Major Connors says the next thing that is coming along is th a us a of aborted babies' skin tissue to manufacture certain serums 'for the good of mankind': When Major Connors retired from _the army medical corps, . he became the chief hospital consultant for Manitoba and then the assistant director of hospitals in Manitoba, He resigned to become the executive director of Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg and at about the same time was elected president of the Catholic Hospital Association of Canada for two terms. In 1965 he resigned to return to his native Ontario where he took up private practice as a health services consultant. Late in 1976 he was asked to provide support now being examined by the attorney -general's office in which it is argued that 20 week old babies aborted through the hysterotomy method had their organs removed for research while they .were still alive..
