JOHN A. GREAVES writes from LONDON.
CONCERN is mounting in Britain over the effects of the country's new abortion laws, which came into force just over five months ago. Already more than 14,000 women have had legal abortions, including some 9,000 of them free through the National Health Service. It is estimated that the figure will reach 30,000 by the end of the first 12 months. About 40 per cent of these operations have taken place in private nursing homes and from all reports the law has now legalised and encouraged the abortionist profiteers that the sponsors of the law claimed it would suppress.
Opponents of the act had claimed that in practice it would allow abortion on demand t hrough the National Health Service because of the "social clause," w hich permits abortion when pregnancy or birth not only affects the phy- AN all-night Vigil for coffee will be provided, sical or mental health of but those taking part are Christian Vocations will asked the mother, but also of to bring everything any existing child and be the conclusion of the else. a llows the total social Annual Solemn Novena On the first day of the environment of the Novena, Saturday, Novmother to be taken into in honour of Our Lady ember 30, there will be of the Miraculous Medal t wo sessions, at 5.30 p.m. account. and to be held in St. Mary's there7.30 p.m. Other days will be one session Cathedral from Satur- at 7.30 p.m. The Novena day, November 30, to will end with a torchlight procession on Sunday, Sunday, December 8.
