GUEST,R Sole BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates (120* d) RE: BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates 17 Jan 16


I used to work on the wards of hospitals before retiring. Termination of pregnancy patients, after the necessarily protracted consent procedure are given medication that results in a "large bleed" that is painless physically but of course emotionally distressing at the time.

Compare that to elsewhere on the gynae ward where ladies who had been to "back street" solutions for a whole set of different reasons but the hospitals were having to sort out the medical and psychological mess.

Where abortion is stifled by governments, just as many take place as in areas where they are legal. The difference being the welfare of the woman in a vulnerable condition seeking options.

There is an argument for when a biological growth becomes a person, and I doubt those who believe in supernatural phenomena are best placed to insist on such a point in time. Women reading this will, statistically speaking, have experienced an occasional period that was much heavier than normal with no reason other than having had sex previously. Presumably the anti abortion argument would put such women as inadvertent criminals? Not capable of looking after their own bodies?

The problem with those who use a rigid guide such as shaky translations of ancient stories is that their cock sure belief fails to address reality in so many ways. Understanding how biology sometimes works being a prime example.
