Abortion — gold rush
Abortion — gold rush
Dear Salient,
They call it women's liberation. No doubt many sincere women think it is but who are behind them?
They say in America the big companies making suction pumps and other such hard ware, have invested their money in women's lib. I wonder why?
And what about the new millionaires of Britain and America. Suddenly many more of the medical profession have joined the upper classes.
One Auckland private hospital is raking in at least $150,000 a year in an ever growing trade. Our new clinic sounds reasonable at first glance, $60 or more a time, 35 or more a week, $2,000 or more a week. How many on the staff? Good wages wouldn't you think?
Just who does gain by abortion? Certainly not the aborted child, maybe not even the mother, but there are others in this saga who do. The new gold rush of the twentieth century.
