Shouldn't that be 'Association for the abolition . . . ?

That would give the abbreviation of AAAA. Or has Keith Waterhouse got the 
rights to that?

You're right! I even looked up "aberrant" to check I had spelled it correctly. 
My spelling is usually 100% but occasionally, as I set down on paper [or 
screen] a little-used word it somehow looks wrong. It's only now you've pointed 
out it should be "Association" & not "Society" that I realise spelling is not 
the only pitfall!
  Indeed, you must be an ex-[or even current] Daily Mirror reader 'coz it was 
in that august [:-))]  paper that Keith Waterhouse first formed the 
"Association"
