On the subject of abortion it was said in one article that
"People who argue vehemently against abortion seem to have already made up
their minds" ...  and that only people who had had abortions were qualified
to speak on the subject.

RUBBISH !   ..... do I need to kill someone before I can argue that murder
is wrong.   Also is it not possible that people who have had abortions are
more interested in justifying their guilty consciences than people who have
taken a responsible attitude to sexual activity ?

One last point, I would think that most abortions are the result of people
voluntarily having sex without making proper preparation. The rape/failed
contraceptive abortion I would think accounts for a very small proportion
of all abortions.    Does anybody have actual statistics for this ?
