"Deliberately Ignored" DESPERATE WOMEN RISK LIVES
(By Telegrapb-
WELLINGTON, Last Night."" *'It is questionable whether the dangers of abortion are thoroughly known; in fact, these dangers are being delih* erately ignored, because desperate women are prepared to risk their ■ivos to get rid of unwanted children," said Dr. M. B. M. Tweed, medical advisor to the Plunket Society, speaking to a remit on this question at the annual . eonf erence, which concluded at Wellington to-day. The remit, which was submitted by the Auckland branch and which was adopted unanimously, was as follows: — "That, in view of the terrible findings of the McMillan Report, in the event of a Dominion-wide organisatian being formed comprising churches and men's and women 's societies whose objects are: (1) To have an educational campaign against the evils of abortion and (2) to have the law for the control and sale of contraceptives and abortifieients amended, the Dominion Conference of the Plunket Society expresses its sympathy with the aims of such an organisation and recommends its members to ' co-operate individually to the utmost.
