40 Terrace Review —~ Wednesday, March 19, 1986

Dissatisfaction
expressed regarding
T.V. programming

Open letter fo Andre
Bureau, Chairman
C.R.T.C.

On behalf of the 120
families represented by
the Terrace Pro-Life
Education Association, I
would like to express our
dissatisfaction with the
three pro-abortion pro-
grams aired on the CTV
network within the past
few months (namely:
Cagney & Lacey, abor-
tion clinics episode; St.
Elsewhere; and most
recently on Feb. 17, the
TV movie Choices).

You will recall that in
1984, the CRTC ruled
that TY stations which
had shown a paid presen-
tation of ‘Assignment:
Life” in Saskatchewan
were obliged to show, at
their own expense, a pro-
gram presenting the pro-
abortion view. Further,
the CRTC required sta-
tions to warn that the
program ‘‘Assignment:
Life’’ is biased, prior to
any broadcast.

We would request that
your Commission now
require the following:

That all stations hav-
ing aired ‘‘Choices’’,
“Cagney & Lacey’’ (The
Clinic) and ‘‘St.

Elsewhere’s’’ abortion
episode be obliged to air
“The Silent Scream’,
‘Assignment: Life’’,
“Conceived in Liberty’’
or ‘‘A Matter of
Choice.’’

That the same air time
be given as was given the
pro-abortion viewpoint.

That any further pro-
grams having a pro-
aborton bias be so label-
led at the start of the
presentation.

Glittering gold

What’s over one metre
in diameter, weighs over
115 kilograms and rests
in a setting reminiscent
of the tombs of ancient
kings? It’s the world’s
largest, first-ever minted
one million dollar gold
coin.

The Gold Coin Exhibit
will be located in the
B.C. Pavilion Complex
at Expo and _ includes
displays which highlight
the development and ma-
jor rote coinage and cur-
rency has played
throughout history.

Alderman congratulated

To the editor,

Fred MacDonald is to
be congratulated for
resigning his aldermanic
seat to uphold his
democratic principles.
Now that he is leaving
Terrace he would be in
my opinion doublecross-
ing his voters if he con-
tinued on council. It
would be different if
he’d been living outside
Terrace at the time he
was elected.

@

The fact his supporters
have let him resign
demonstrates they’re
confident Terrace has at
least one principled, fair-

_ minded citizen willing to

run in a by-election to
replace | him,
Democratic-minded tax-
payers should not
begrudge the by-

election’s $5,000 cost.

To the editor,

I am writing in regards
to the current controver-
sy that municipal council
is facing with respect to

. the abortion counselling

service. offered at the
Terrace Women's Re-
source Centre.

As a Christian who be-
lieves strongly that abor-
tion is the unjust taking
of an innocent life, I
have mixed feelings
about the current up-
roar, On the one hand, I
have solid feelings of
respect for a number of
local feminists from the

Thank you

To the People of Terrace

On behalf of Basket-
ball B.C. and the 186
basketball players,
coaches and officials, I
would like to express our
sincere appreciation for
the hospitality, en-
thusiasm, and hard work
of the citizens of Ter-

race, during the B.C..

Winter Games Feb. 27 —
March 2.

We are indeed grateful
for the financial and
organizational support
of the government of
British Columbia.
Believe me, we know
that the Games could not
happen without the
government’s backing.
But, the people are what
make an event mem-
orable. Everywhere you
turned there was a Ter-
race volunteer who was
glad to see you and anx-
ious to help.

Thanks for a great
time.

Mixed feelings

Women’s Centre whom I
have observed over the
years giving a lot of
themselves in time,
money and energy to
women in distress.
Gradually, I have come
to recognize more and
more the inequalities and
injustices women endure
in our society. Then too,
I take my example from
Jesus Christ who went

against the power struc-

ture of his time by con-
sistently treating with
love and respect the then
unprotected women,
children and poor.

For those reasons, I
recognize that there is a
need for a local women’s
centre, and generally I
support the feminists in
their efforts to build a

better society. Yet when .

it comes to the matter of
abortion, I have an obli-
gation to speak out for
the rights of the unpro-

‘tected, innocent individ-

ual — the developing un-
born baby.

For that reason, I
must object to the in-
formation used by the
Pro-Choice Committee
and their supporters as
printed in the Terrace
Review. The language
they used tends, in my
opinion, to cloud and
obscure the basic reality
of abortion counselling;

that is, that abortion

counselling itself often
leads to abortion, which

not only. terminates a

problem pregnancy, but
ends a human life as
well, 4

For example, four
times in the last week’s
coverage of the council
meetings, there were
references to .abortion
counselling as being a
matter of the public’s
right to ‘‘freedom of in-
formation’’. From an-
other point of the view,
the problem is ‘‘lack of
information”: The gen-
eral public is sadly misin-
formed about the reality
of abortion. In fact, a
growing number of

women are forming self-

help groups such as
WEBA (Women Exploit-
ed by Abortion) and

' feminists

“WINONE 2

DID YOU KNOW? cae

j
many of them say they
would not have gone
through with their abor-
tions had they known the
reality of the life they
were carrying. Indeed,
among the leaders of
such groups are feminists-
who have had abortions
and who now identify
abortion as part of the
emotional, financial and
sexual exploitation | of
women.

In conclusion, | want
to point out that for
to equate
freedom of information
with the freedom to

choose death for another _

puts women, in my opin-

ion, on the side of the

oppressors — a place

where they have rarely
been before.

Do you find teenagers scary?

! l eanagers are not as frightening as many people imagine. They have the same
basic needs as all people. They need love and understanding. They need to feel

they belong, that they are special.
There are teenagers in this community who need foster homes for a while. If you

are willing to provide a temporary or long-term home or a room and beard situation

with some supervision for a local teenager please contact your locai Ministry of

Human Resources office.

You could make a differance in a teenager's

life.
