Passive cable selling

To the Editor;

What did you think of
CFTK’s latest marketing ap-
proach? I’ve had friends suggest

the cable company should be

reported to the CRTC for the
way they’ve added the Satellite

- 6-Pak (only $4.49 per month) to

your TY bill. I suspect it’s legal,

or they. wouldn’t have done it,

but there’s something about this
*‘deal’’ that I don’t like.

First, if you don't want the ex-
tra channels (only $4.49 per
month), you have to call them.
Otherwise, even if your TV
doesn’t pick up the higher chan-
nels, you have to pay. _

That’s like having some mail

order company send you a

bunch of junk instead of a flyer,
and saying ‘‘Well, if you don’t
like it, send it back and you
don’t have to pay for it.”’
Second, if you don’t read
English too well, you might not

read the “‘response card”, | if oe
your eyes aren’t. what they used oe
to be, you might miss the ‘‘only |. «

$4.49” buried in the text of the
fine print. You pay. -

Third, if you’re a little forget-
ful, or you misplace the card, or
your kid throws it out in the

trash, you have to pay —

whether you wanted it or not.
Or if you phone because you

lost the card, and the nice young.

lady on the front desk gets your

account number wrong — you

pay.

Of course, it’s only $4, 49
($54.88 for a year). Only a 20
percent increase. Maybe it’s not
worth getting excited about. But
if you don’t get excited, you
Pay. .

Come on, TK. You people are
better than this! Aren’t you? -

Protection of innocent _

To the Editor;
I would like to comment on

_ Skeena MP Jim Fulton's recent

proposals calling for health
ministry action to establish
abortion on demand for the first
two-thirds of a pregnancy.

As the Christian Heritage Par-
ty candidate in the last federal
election, I am very familiar with
Mr. Fulton’s adherence to the

_NDP party line concerning what
is called ‘‘freedom of choice’’. ~

When the NDP maintains that
abortion is a personal matter to

_ be decided by a woman and her

physician, they are forgetting

someone. That someone, living
and growing in the woman’s

womb, is fully human by all.

scientific criteria known to
modern. science — and Mr.

| Fulton knows it.

Several years ago, Mr. Fulton

_| was visited in his Terrace office

by my wife Isobel, who is a
registered nurse, and by a local
physician who presented Mr.
Fulton with all the facts on the
unborn. .

Mr. Fulton was presented
with evidence showing that the
unborn baby is a developing
human with a heartbeat and
brainwaves after only three or
four weeks of development,
possibly even before the mother
is totally certain that she is preg-
nant,

Wanted or unwanted, that un-
born baby deserves protection
under the law. In fact, any

_ legislator should know that the

primary function of the law of
the land is to protect the inno-
cent, especially those who have
no means of protecting them-
selves, At many times in the sad
history of the human race, there
have been individuals or groups

who have been at the mercy of-

those who have had the power of
life and death over them.

After the weaker people have
deemed to be less than fully
human, it becomes easy for their
oppressors to kill them with a
clear conscience. Just as millions
of Armenians were killed by
Turks; millions of Ukrainian

_ peasants were killed by Stalin;

millions of Jews were killed by

oo ° Hitler; millions more were killed

in China and Cambodia — so
too in the 20th Century hun-
dreds of millions have been
killed by abortion,

The theme was the same:
might makes right and death is a
sure way to solve human prob-
lems. Certainly, some children

are not conceived under the

most ideal circumstances. These

.children and their mothers
‘deserve all the financial and

community support that can be
mustered.

Now that the NDP have
equated ‘freedom of choice”’
with the freedom of an in-
dividual to hire an abortionist to
kili the unborn baby in her
womb, the NDP has put itself on
the side of the oppressor. Surely,
this is a travesty of the original
aims and ideals of those workers
and small farmers who estab-
lished, at considerable sacrifice,
the CCF Party, forerunner of
the NDP.

In closing, I would like to re-
mind Mr. Fulton that the health
ministry should have nothing to
do with abortion, since preg-
nancy is not an illness. Abortion
cures no disease, aids in no heal-
ing of an injury.

When a woman with her un-
born baby walk into an abor-
tionist’s office, chances are that
only one will come out alive.
