"How can a claim that all human life is sacred be hypocritical? "
It is hypocritical when the people who plead it against abortion are happy to send youngsters off to war - as they consistently have
It is also hypocritical when the people who accuse those who want the right to pregnancy termination of "murder" yet are happy to say nothing about the numbers crossing to Britain for the operation - very much a NIMBY approach
There is little point in mentioning the women who have died because they could not obtain a termination
The most horrific case of denying the right to termination was surely the 11 year old rape victim who not only was made pregnant and had two sexually transmitted diseases passed on to her by her rapist, but whose family was shielded from the facts until it was too late to legally be terminated
