Abortion and the election

In The Guardian today there is a comment by Libby Brooks about David Cameron using abortion as an election issue. Well, whoopee !!! Bring it on I say.

Cameron has given an interview to The Catholic Herald, as is his prerogative and also given some views on tightening the time allowed for a legal abortion within the UK.

Brooks say this makes the matter an election issue. Well, if that is the case, then, like all issues raised by the Leaders of parties, let that matter be judged by the people who vote. Brooks is one, Cameron is one and I am one. She has one vote as do each of the other electors.

But the most amazing comment she makes is - that making it an issue is DEEPLY ALARMING. Why? What is the alarm in discussing this issue for a nation which can claim to have the most abortions each year in Europe. Is it not MORE ALARMING that abortions, the taking of life of an innocent baby, are allowed in the first place by law?

IT IS ALARMING THAT ONE ABORTION OCCURS, let alone thousands. And Brooks thinks discussion of any time limit on them is alarming. She has her priorities in the wrong place and that is alarming. She has no concept of the taking of life of the innocent baby in the womb who is totally defenceless and that is scarily alarming.

No Ms Brooks, I am alarmed at you and your fellow travellers, those in 'charities' who are stunned that the abortion time limit may be shortened. Their leaders ought be ashamed they head a charity. They are off mark, you are off mark and the unborn ought be alarmed that you will not defend them. That is the DEEPLY ALARMING matter here.

What a society we have that legalises abortion, permits it, allows it all with a blind eye and many many elected politicians go along with this. That is deeply alarming.

Every candidate should be asked for their views on abortion before a voter castes their vote. We all need to know which candidates support abortion and who don't. This issue will go on and on and on until abortion stops and the legality is removed once and forever.
