Recent studies reported in the
Canadian Medical Journal (Nov.
1974) confirm the advance of the
• trend among Canadians regarding
the use of abortion as birth control.
"OHIP is subsidizing an incred-
ibly expensive.., form, of birth
control, and the majority of Ontario
citizens are footing the bill," said
Mrs. C. Gwendolyn Landolt, LLB.,
president of Alliance for Life, in a,
letter to Premier Wm'. Davis and
his acting Health Minister Bette G.
Stephenson.

abortions."

on the basis. of social or economic'
reasons contrary to Canadian law.
OHIP then pays unnecessary
millions for these abortions. The
di tragedy is that many ab rtions end
up impairing the he of the
women and 'costing 0 IP even
more money due to complications,
particularly in subsequent preg-
nancies." '
Mrs.l.andolt went on to criticize
the office.of the Minister of Health
for its failure to question therapeut-
ic abortion committees for what she
termed "their rubber stamp prac-
tices."
