This philosophical difference is highlighted in an Australian book, Women Who Do & Women Who Don't (Join the [...]

Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro as his vice-presidential running mate now causes him much embarrassment. Mondale had been more-or-less [...]
At the Kansas Conference, it was obvious that the pro-abortionists and pro-lifers are agreed on at least one thing: that the 1984 elections will be the most significant since the Supreme Court Decision in 1973, which legalized abortion-on-demand.

It was an historic election with many significant developments for the pro-life cause.

Indeed, to be seen as not being pro-life was politically damaging. In some ridings the pro-life vote was the deciding factor. John Oostrom (PC Willowdale) [...]
