(Published in response to CMA policy that abortion can be justified on medical or non-medical social grounds)
Extract
Be it resolved that we as members of the CMA as well as members of the Canadian Physicians for Life and Les Medecins du Quebec for le Respect de la Vie:
* Reject the pro-abortion stand of the CMA . . .
* Support fully the strong stand of some of the hospital boards . . .
* Deplore the pressure being brought to bear on the democratic as well as moral rights of hospital boards by some of our colleagues . . .
* Assert that any future statements made by CMA should reflect the views of the great number of doctors who respect human life . . .
