Dear Letters Editor,

On April 11 Heather Mallick will headline a group of abortion rights speakers at UNB, bemoaning the fact New Brunswick is not sufficiently gung-ho, in their view, in facilitating abortions. Translation: we don’t kill enough babies here.

Mallick is one of Henry Morgentaler’s most enthusiastic cheerleaders. She has just published a glowing ode about this man who is responsible for the death of more than 6,000 New Brunswick children since he opened his abortion facility here in 1994.

We don’t need Morgentaler, we don’t need his cheerleaders, and we certainly don’t need any more dead babies in our birth-starved province.

Shame on the UNB Law Faculty and Advisory Council on the Status of Women for co-sponsoring this event and thereby joining the party of death. What’s next at my alma mater - an honorary doctorate for Canada’s top abortionist?

Many will now celebrate Easter as a victory of life over death. How sad and deluded that some still want sin and death to have the final word.

Mallick is wrong to try to shame New Brunswickers for our relatively pro-life heritage. I am proud that we, more than some others, recognize that maternity is not a disease or curse. Every life is precious.
