Well, Thomson, you can take it from me that this man is one hundred percent behind women having the unfettered right to full control over their own bodies, for freely-available abortion, contraception and contraceptive advice, and for religion-free, moralising-free education for sex and relationships. My reasoning is that I'm far more anti-abortion than any pro-lifer I've ever met, and certainly a damn sight more than the Pope. All they've done is prove that bans, restrictions, stigmatising and obstacles not only don't work but actually make things worse. Time to try something a bit different and a bit more enlightened. And let's certainly not accept strictures of any kind from celibate men in frocks or mad nuns, dead or alive.
