"When Mr. Justice McCardie urgcr an alteration of the law against abortion, he brings his Court into disrepute, if not contempt," said Father Woodlock, the well-known preacher of the West End Jesuit Church, Farm Street. , "The judge should know that laws made to fit hard cases are bad laws The unborn child has a right to live ,The Catholic theology proclaims its personality. The increased number o:! illegal onerations, which are directly the result of anti-parental mentality are due to birth-control propaganda. "Some hard cases of the poor come to Court, but the rich can, without detection, avoid an undesired pregnancy. The pi*ofessional and educater classes of England nowadays are sr opposed to parenthood that thev are jjroducing barely half the childrer required to replace themselves. , "Birth-control legislation is a quack remedy for social evds. The State should make England fit for children to grow healthily, instead of legalising abortion and helping birth-control atnong the working classes, whom the eugenists call inferior stock. A miner's child may become an archbishop if given a fair chance."
