Thank you for your balanced coverage of our 40 Days for Life vigil outside the Vancouver Island Women’s Clinic.

You devoted almost exactly half the space in the story to our vigil and half to the views of those who support the unrestricted abortion of unborn babies.

It is because I know Black Press and its devotion to balanced reporting that I am so confident that when you report on the Rock for Reproductive Justice event planned by our opponents on Oct. 22, you will give 50 per cent of the coverage to our comments.
