My feeling is that abortion should be allowed. And that it should be allowed with the minimum of fuss, so agree with the Commons Committee's report. I imagine one would have made the decision to terminate after a lot of thought, so don't see why two Dr's need to agree to an abortion before it's allowed. Also, (I think), technically you're not allowed to have an abortion in the UK just because you got drunk and don't want a child....though I'm not so sure how well this works in practice. From my experience (which is pretty limited - am in the same boat as MP), having an abortion can have serious affects on the mother. So rather than worrying about whether it's morally acceptable to have an abortion, I'd much rather see a system of support for those that choose to have a termination. Something I feel is lacking now. They get depressed. They get pumped with drugs. Lucky them. Rather loath the moral question. Illegalising abortion, or making it harder to get one wont prevent it from happening, it will just worsen the lot of those that decide they cannot cope having a child. Criminalising people needlessly. And am annoyed that the Beebs pages on abortion are on their religious pages - as an atheist I really don't see what religions got to do with it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/ethics/abortion/ On the death penalty (I know it's a tad off topic). Am against it, but was at Auschwitz recently and saw the gallows where Rudolph Hoess was hung.....it go us into a lengthy debate as to whether this was right or not. We didn't really resolve it.
