A great deal of information was disseminated, discussions and arguments entered into and a great many people, otherwise uninvolved in any aspect of the school's political life, were sufficiently concerned to put their names to the petition and wear the badges supporting CAC The extent of the support was reflected in the large numbers who marched behind the LSE banners on October 28th, many of them men and not all of them students. CONTINUING However, the march was not the end of the Campaign's activities. A month later, a debate was held at the school - organised by the Christian Union - - between a representative of SPUC and Jo Richardson MP, and plans were laid for the new year. The purpose of these was to reactivate support for the lobby of Parliament on Feb 5th (the time of the third reading of the Corrie Bill).

Among activities planned are a video show of the demonstration on the 28th Oct and a benetit disco. In addition, the Campaign intends producing a pamphlet detailing the current position on abortion rights, how Corrie's Bill will change it and why the Campaign opposes it There will be few people at the LSE unaware of the issues involved and of the Campaign's reasons for opposing the Bill. It is to be hoped that this will provide an ongoing base for fighting until women are given the right to free abortion on demand - a woman's right to choose.
