S.P.U.C pleased by result
PA Wellington The Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child was delighted with the result of the Rangitikei by-election, said its president (Mr J. D. Dalgety). “It will be very reassuring to the 50 or so pro-life members in Parliament,” he said. “It will be most unsettling to the pro-abortion members in marginal seats. The result can also be seen as a rejection of the repeal petition. A number of proI abortion doctors had numerlous meetings in the electorate, where they' invited citizens to vote for any candidate other than Mr Beetiham. S.P.U.C. had one meetling in the electorate, which ITVI estimated was attended by 350 people. S.P.U.C. endorsed Mr Beetham. “I have no doubt tile issue won votes for Mr Beetham and lost votes for Mr Bull and Mr Stewart,” Mr Dalgety said.
