Firmly with BPG on this one. No surprises there!!
Well over 98% of abortions are ‘retrospective contraception’ … it’s never wise to base policy on examples from the extremes. In the UK we allow abortion up to birth for such disability as cleft palate, ‘club foot’ and Down’s syndrome. Sheer barbarism. The point NI makes about Pro life groups not caring about ongoing welfare is simply wrong. The data does not support it. By far the most ‘social capital’ invested voluntarily towards the poor and marginalised is recognised ming from faith groups.
The crux of the matter is where does human life begin …. and we enter the debate about viability, consciousness, potential etc If I take a an egg from a kestrels nest and smash it or a still blind infant badger from its sett and tear it to pieces exactly what have I destroyed?
