“Violence against abortion clinics
contradicts everything the pro-life
movement stands for,” according to
leaders of the state pro-life organi-
zation. Commenting on recent clinic
bombings in Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania Pro-Life Federation President
Mrs. Garnett Biviano noted the pro-
life movement’s goal is to bring an
end to violence, the violence of
abortion which daily claims the
“For 12 years, our movement has
orked to restore respect for all
human life through peaceful, non-
violent actions such as lobbying,
educating, marching and voting.
Therefore, actions which risk injur-
ing or killing human beings, such as
bombing abortion clinics, are totally
alien to the goals, philosophy and
methods of both the Pennsylvania
Pro-Life Federation and the
National Right to Life Committee,
we are affiliated,” she continued.
Denise Neary, the Federation’s
representative to the National Right
to Life Committee, stated that no
organized right to life group has
ever been associated with any inci-
dents of violence against an abor-
tion clinic. Furthermore, she noted,
the federal agency charged with
investigating these incidents, the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms, has found no evidence of
a national conspiracy linking these
incidents.
Mrs. Neary remarked there have
been press reports quoting clinic
owners and pro-abortion spokespeo-
ple to the effect that the clinic
bombings are the work of the pro-
life movement.
“There is not a shred of evidence
to link our nonviolent movement to
these despicable acts,” she stated.
“Unfortuantely, pro-abortion spo-
kespeople are using these incidents
to attempt to discredit the pro-life
movement and to distract the public
from the daily violence which is the
deliberate destruction of unborn
children by abortion.”
Are professional women in busi-
ness and industry taken seriously by
their male counterparts? Do some
college classrooms procedures put
women students at a disadvantage?
What kinds of family pressures
must career women deal with
before and after they leave their
offices? How does a single mother
go about re-entering the work force
and developing a career?
Such questions will be explored at
Penn State Wilkes-Barre when its

gram sponsors a public Symposium

sion will be held in the Hayfield

sion and the reception which will
