Sir, - We are told by Ministers of Health, over the years, that if abortion is legislated for it will be "monitored carefully" to apply only to cases of necessity, in which there is a danger that the mother, will commit suicide. In the UK, the same situation was reached in 1967, and the same safeguards were put in place.

Since 1967 in England, five million abortions have been carried out - were there five million suicidal woman in the UK since 1967? No. Let's face the facts. We will have the same situation, unless we say No now, in a new prolife Referendum. - Yours, etc.,
