Mr. McAfee suggests the

. jury may effect’ a change in

the law. So it may. But that is
not to suggest laws passed’ by
Parliament should.be
subverted by the whims ofa
perverse jury. After all, while
you’ may | be acquitted one day

-by a jury, contrary to the law

day you may be convicted
should the jury’s moral views
be adverse to yours! Far bet-
ter the jury stick to its tradi-
tional role of: deciding the

‘facts and applying the Jaw

presented by the trial judge.

Mr. McAfee. seems. to
equate being tried by one’s
peers to being tried by those
who share the same
philosophy and are prepared
to. acquit in spite of the
evidence.

7 The | most ‘plausible exe

planation for’ the Morgen-
taler acquittal is that the jury

_perceived the ‘hypocrisy of...

secuted for doing the same
procedures that our provin-
cial Attorneys-General | are

ermitting to be performed
daily.in our hospitals. Abor-
tions perfurmed'in Canadian
hospitals for social or
economic reason are every bit
as illegal as the abortions per-
formed in Morgentaler’ 5
clinics. The solution is not to
prosecute only Morgentaler
but ‘to apply the law’ con-
sistently ‘and _proseciite --all

physicians performing illegal:

abortions in; our. Publicly
funded hospitals.’ co
