Reader wi Mr. Kaînins, although you requested that we take our comments regarding your ar- ticle to your editor as he was said to be more soft- hearted than you, I may send themn to him, but my comments are aimed directhy at you. Welh I happen to be another one of those em- otional people who consider abortion needless killing of a heiless being. And l'm not a reigious fanatic, ai.- though I do believe in a supreme being and value ife. To me it is a crime when you see doctors struggling to prolong peophes' life w1ho are begging to be relieved of their suffering and agony and think nothing of putting an end to what probably wouhd be a perfectly beautiful and normal human being or at least in most cases. I know there are some cases where there isn't too much choic but to abort the fetus but this abortion on demand as far as I arn concerned is fairh chose to what I wouhd cal murder. The cases I arn referring to is where there is every indication that al is normal, as far as the deliver is conemred. And you also have no business tehing the people to stop their yapping ini public as that is how some of you pro-abortionist hehped get some of their bis passed, and we happien to have some- thing in our country caled freedom of speech. And as far as your comment regard- ing abortions as no Iess than a trip to the dentist chair is a buneh of bull ---. I'm sure the world can't be as calhoused as that. One thing I wihl agree with you about is, that hospitals are for sick whicb is right, they are flot supposed to be used for slau- ghter. When a medical re- search scientist can tell me that he can detect a heart beat and brain waves around 6 to 8 weeks from the fetus, that is enough to convince me that there is sornething quite human iîot yet born. I know for some doctors it's a touigh decision to miake, buît h still can't understand how they can tell a mnother she hasjiîst delivered a beauit- iful baby anîd in the verv rext hour end a ife that could have beenjust as beaut- iful. You say don't give you junk about abortion be- ing murder, welI 1 say don't give me that junk about your If something like cooking oil is on sale it's wise ta check the code on the can to find out if the product is near the end of it's sheif life. The stores often won't tell you but the Consumrrer Affairs Departrnent of the govcrnrent will .and they frequently deal with complaints of grocery stores who have not rotated tlieir stock. Witli the price of food as highi as it is bargains, real bargains. are hacrd to find and if you think you've got one play it srmart and check it out BEFORE you spend your money. It may ilot be the bargain you thoughit it was. .97~- - Roy Barrard, Oshawa city cîerk, (left) and Bill Swan Durhiam College teacher, both bodies being your own and having the right to control the ife that is in it. YoulU fight for the seughter of baby seals but the unborn fetus doesn't seem to be worthy of such considerat ion. I would ike to say in closing, that I arn more than grateful to thc woman that chose to go through with her pregnancy and bore us a beautiful son who gives us hours of pleasure and he lias five brothers and sisters that think lie is pretty suiper. So there you have some commn- ents frorn a woman, whose ideas such as mine, are usually considered by stucl people as youirself. based on eni- otions rather than commn sense. Thank God for ouir emotions. Sincerely, Mrs. Mabel Willetts 1010 Wardmian Cres.
