Repeal of C. S. and A. Act
Sir, — 1 fully endorse Pat Wilkinson’s laudatory remarks concerning women — my mother is one. It is in
recognition of my origin, that I (and others), having tasted the goodness of . life, would wish, not “to control women’s fertility” (a concern for husband and wife in the family setting), but protect the fruit of that fertility, -to ensure it has the chance to enjoy its highest quality — life. Life being shared by man and woman alike, the genders of the legislators protecting it are of little account. And it is through this same mutual quality that I can share with Pat Wilkinson an abhorrence at the prematurely terminated lives of young women — who may be victims of self-induced or back-street abortions; an abhorrence which extends also to the extinction of life within their wombs. — Yours, etc., TIM CORCORAN. April 27, 1978. [This correspondence is now closed.—Editor]
