Activities of S.P.U.C.
Sir,—While she is looking with disapproval at the size of the S.P.U.C. membership, Alice Cutler (November 16) might also like to examine the membership of the pro-abortion groups. She will keep meeting the same people with different hats on, and find that the actual numbers of the faithful are very small. The British A.L.R.A., which promoted the 1967 U.K. Abortion Act, consisted of 1000 people. This has been referred to rightly as a miniscule proportion of the population. Anti-abortion groups defend a long accepted view on unborn children. If any organisation is to be accused of destablilising legislative and judicial process in relation to abortion it can only be the proabortion lobby. Because the movement lacks wide support in society and attracts a membership of microscopic size, the only tactic available to the pro-abortionists is the manipulation of political, legal, medical and social opinions—Yours, etc., P. S. BROOKE. November 16, 1981.
