I am writing on behalf of the Wellington branch of the Women's National Abortion Action Campaign (WONAAC), to express our surprise and dismay at Lamorna Rogers' letter in Salient (July 10, 1978). We feel that the accusations levelled at WONAAC by Lamorna are quite unjustified.

WONAAC is a member group of the Abortion Rights Committee, which is a coalition set up to organise a public meeting on July 10 and an abortion march on July 14. WONAAC members have participated in the build-up to these activities by helping in the distribution of publicity, making our membership lists available for mailouts, attending organising meetings, issuing press statements in support of July 14 etc. If Lamorna had checked the accuracy of her statements before going into print, we feel sure that she would not have attacked WONAAC in the way she did.

WONAAC's main aim is to build a united abortion campaign which will be strong enough to win women's right to abortion. We are prepared to work with the Abortion Rights Committee, or any other group, to achieve this aim. We hope that ARC will also help by joining with us to build the national day of mobilisation on September 15.

Lamorna's unjustified and inaccurate attack on WONAAC is an attempt to create divisions where none exist and does a disservice to the abortion rights campaign.
