When it comes to abortion, there seems to be an unwillingness to not just face up to the reality of what the operation involved but also the trauma experienced by both mother and child. I fin the scientific arguments the author puts forward, impossible to challenge. The subject has become so taboo that those who take a pro-choice stance immediately hide behind platitiudes such as 'it is a woman's choice.' It is almost untanebale to accept that what the other is carrying is a human being and the means of death would normally be called murder in other settings. It makes you wonder what happens next with the debate. is there anything that can be done to prevent abortion being use as a from of contraceptive, even though it isnt?
