    There are numerous reports of newborns with birth defects being euthanised in NHS hospitals during the Thalidomide crisis. I’m not aware of anyone waiting until the child is one year old to abort. Surely any justification to abort would be identifiable at birth.

    The author discusses the impact of the pill at length in her book and I don’t think she identifies as pro-life. My reading of the article was that she would like abortion to be a last resort not a first resort.

      She compares the US allowing abortion as equivalent to your society drifting off towards paganism, which she describes as sinister. If she wanted a deep discussion about where to draw the line she shouldn’t have brought up how the romans raped their slaves before saying that was where your country was headed.
