Biographical note
In March 1976, sections of the medical profession which supported the 1967 Act, plus other social work and related professions, formed the Co-ordinating Committee in Defence of the 1967 Abortion Act (Co-ord). Other interested groups, including campaigning organisations, political parties and religious groups, affiliated to Co-ord. By 1980, more that fifty organisations were members of the Committee. Co-ord was an umbrella organisation which involved very disparate organisations, ranging from Tories for Free Choice through the Child Poverty Action Group to the Young Communist League. Savage was involved as a representative of Doctors for a Woman's Choice on Abortion.
