Message | We are open to the idea of relaxing Quanzar's draconian curfew and anti-smoking laws. However, legalising abortion - especially in the way proposed - is unthinkable for us. We are also gravely concerned at the prospect of encouraging polygamy through giving it legal sanction. Ted Steele (Chairman of Catholic Action) |
