•In her education report
Mrs. Campeau reported that
Dr. Bernard Nathanson was
guest speaker at the Alliance
for Life convention held in
St. John's, Newfoundland.
Dr. Nathanson, one of the
co-founders of a pro -abortion
group in the U.S. and now a
pro-life advocate, told the
delegates that therapeutic
abortion committees simply
"rubber stamp" a woman's
request for an abortion. He
termed this process
"abortion on demand".
He also was sharply
, critical, of the pro -
abortionists in the U.S. As a
result of their activities,
there are now 1.5 million
abortions annually in •the
U.S., he said.
Dr. Nathanson, who is
author of the book Aborting
America, told the delegates
he will release his "Abortion
Papers" shortly, which he
believes will be "the pro -
abortionists Watergate".
The local pro-life group is
planning a "Walk for Life"
on Saturday, Sept. 26, which
will be a "family affair", in
this year of the disabled. The
walk will start at the
