said God formed man. life is
precious and since the unborn
• cannot speakfor themselves,
it is 'groups Like Pro fife
which must take up the tusk
of defending life.
Members at the conference
broke into smaller groups for
discussions Of topics of
current interest.
The recent statement by
Marc Lalonde, Minister of
Health` tnd Welfare, saying
that women's clinic's would he
set up in the provinces,
brought many strong
criticisms. from a group of
about .'I) men and women.
Among the objections it.
was felt that these clinics
would give easier access to
abortion thus promoting
abortion. It was. also felt that
many women would hesitate
to attend a clinic for cancer
screening if there were
abortion referrals in the same
clinic.
19uring a period of restraint
when hospitals are being
closed,, the need to duplicate
services ices by Iluilding clinics
was questioned. It was also
suggested that by building
women's clinics,- men were
heing discriminated against.
It was suggested that
something positive. like
Judeo-Christian family
counsellini;which helps those
who are pregnant and
distressed, should be funded
by the government.
in the United Nations
statement "Declaration of
the Rights of the Child", Pro
Life feels that the child before
as well as after birth needs
special safeguar-ds, care and
legal protection. Pro Life
thinks Canadians should
protect the unborn.
The private members' bill
introduced in Parliament
recently was discussed by Dr.
Cassidy of the Coalition for
Life. Dr, Cassidy will prepare
a brief to present to
Parliament as it was felt
there was no needfor*his bill.
The Woodstock Right to
Life members are working as
volunteers with the
Children's Aid Society in their
area. The Children's Aid
chooses a "friend" from
among the volunteers to visa
a single parent or others in
need.
Care of the elderly was also
discussed. Audio-visual
presentations by different
groups gave better
knowledge of available
material for use in programs
or for loans to schools.
,The progreS5 of Adrian
Keel was noted. Adrian, a
member of Wingham Voice
for Life had reached Kalador
on Friday, April `:'' a
distance of 260 miles from
Wingham where he had
started walking two weeks
earlier. Adrian hope's to cover
the remaining 90 miles to
Ottawa in time for the
Festival of Life on May 5.
A new Pro Life group has
