An Orthodox Christian priest commends WALMART for taking a stand for morality and against abortion.

Wed May 26 1999

Dear Madam or Sir:

I would like to thank Walmart for refusing to dispense the drug PREVEN in your pharmacies. This is so important because this drug prevents a developing baby from attaching to the uterine wall of his mother and causes him to die from lack of nourishment, resulting in an early abortion. I, and millions of Americans like me, believe that human life begins from the first moment of fetilization. Therefore I oppose the use of PREVEN and applaud your action. Please stand firm despite the pressure the pro-abortion lobby may place upon you.

I have enjoyed shopping at our new local Walmart in Manville, New Jersey. You action concerning PREVEN has made me a confirmed Walmart customer. I will be commending Walmart to my family, friends, associates, and parishioners and urging them to support you also.

Yours Sincerely,

The Rev'd Fr. David C. Straut
