[Introduction]

On Friday, July 28, a march will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to demand repeal of the abortion laws, free easily available contraception and voluntary sterilisation.

In Wellington, as part of activities leading up to the march, a picket of the National Party Conference was held July 22. The Tories didn't even bother to have a remit on abortion, though there is apparently quite a lot of support for repeal amonst younger members

Sponsors for the march include two Labour Party branches, a Christchurch city councillor (Nancy Sutherland), Professor Werry (an Auckland psychiatrist) and many other individuals and organisations, including the V.U.W. Students' Association.
