But maybe I misspoke – I didn’t pay enough attention to the requirement that a doctor agree it’s both ethically and clinically appropriate. In fact, what is the difference between A and C? I’ve worked with doctors, and discussed this with them, and I don’t see how a doctor could differentiate between A and C.

The myth that women will, given the option of legal abortion at any time, will suddenly abort in the 24th month for no reason, is just a nonsense.

It’s going to be option #B. You have to see it from the point of a view of a politician – they have to make a decision, and it’s going to upset lot’s of people whatever they do. So they propose two courses to satisfy one of two consitituencies. And then there’s a middle option… it’s called damage control.

I think that your position is morally bankrupt myself. I presume that you would not think it was okay for a woman to terminate the life of her baby after it was born if it turned out that the impact on her life was more than she expected. But you’re happy for the termination to occur right up until birth? So there’s something magic about birth that provides a child with protection against it’s mother?

Not that I really think that any other position is particularly more right or better politics or social policy.

make it very easy to avoid conception,
very easy to discover quickly if you are.

This simply involves education early,
and distribution of contraception,
and the obliteration of the clinic ghouls who frighten girls away from getting there sooner than they do.

Hypocrisy is the true enemy, in that many of the Pro?Life wailers are people who have not been aware that their elderly neighbour has been stone dead for 2 weeks – ‘sanctity of life indeed’
