PAGE 20, WEDNICSDAY, NOVEMBERU 28.1 984. WHITnV F PR PDq LETTERS TO THE EL )IOR Morenale tial iscrim inatd gainstCanadian ctzn Dear Sir. I would like ta respon- se to the Morgentaler trial and the articles I read in the paper. The jury selection was done with the intention of ex- cludlng the follawing: Regular church-goers; Housewives; *Young people; and, Older professionals, fram jury auuy wor Lme iorgen- taler's trial. With regard ta the abave, I would like ta submit the following: 1. As a Canadian citizen, I feel that thousands of mny On- tarian brothers and sisters, of whatever faith, were discriminated against in the Morgentaler trial. One of aur sacred con- stitutional right is the freedom ta practice religion. To disqualify church-goers is a tan- temount ta, taking away Our basic right and privilege as guaranteed by aur constitution.

Is it justified ta have church-goers be prejudiced and preven- ted from their duty ta serve as jury just because they happen ta. exercise their basic canstitutional right? 2. Many wanien feel that their place is in their homes. They are homemakers who dedicate themselves niostly ta the welfare of their famiies. Many 0f themn do valuntar comnmunity wark when time permits. Sa why leave them'out ta serve as jury? 3. Were Farga and Marks leery of the possibility that aur future' generatian, aur YOung Peaple, are aware af the fact that approximateîy 40,000 in accardance with the Walnut St. anti-abartian marchers Whitby. Solway should heed local feelings dioperating an illegal abortian climic in Toron- ta" is a law-breaking act? Were they afraid that aur- young may sway the final vating in favaur f, preserving life? 4. And why were aider professianals, such as dactors, teachers etc. ignared? Are they taa, intelligent and capable of making the correct decision in abeying the judge's instruction that an affence had taken place; that the law had been- broken, (even Margentaler admitted this)? Were they ap- prehensive that these aIder prafessionals will be able ta persuade the jury ta reach a verdict law of aur country? Was it then, nat Ob- viaus that the jury was selected with the inten- tion that eventuaîîy they will fail ta recognaze the facts that the law bas been breached and show sYmpathY to the ac- cused and bis project. Their "no gullty", ver- dict is not the refléctian of the choice of the people of Ontaria. It merely was a decision af the group, wha was pot compased of church- gaers, nar dedicated hausewives, nor the Young peaple, nor the aIder prafessianaîs. The People af Ontario bas shown ' what, they want. Were there nat at Queen's Park an Oct. 1983? Were there not aver 100,000 signatures collected in respanse ta the "Na Abortian Cinies" advertising campaign? What about over one million signatures petition calleàcted and given ta, Ottawa, aur federal government. Does this not clearly indicate what the people of Canada want? Maybe we shauld speil it out; We do nat want nor need, and certainly nat paY for any abortion clinics in Canada, and especially nat in On- tario.
