S.P.U.C. in red over hearings
PA Wellington The Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child is §14,000 in the red after its submissions to the Royal Commission on contraception, sterilisation and abortion. The society’s national ! president, Mr J. D. Dalgety, said that his society had spent $40,000 providing expert witnesses throughout the hearings, which lasted almost a year. “No Government department or other official body was prepared to state the case for the right to life of unborn children,” said Mr Dalgety, “so it was left to voluntary organisations such as our society."
S.P.U.C.'s counsel included two experts who were engaged throughout the entire hearings, and also an authority on education in marriage, sex and family living who was brought from the United States.
The society’s only regular source of finance is the annual $1 or $2 subscription of its 41,000 members, said Mr Dalgety.
