Steve. I hear you but I don't think it lamentable to not have a view on the point a life begins. It would be subjective to say the least. Enough of those views in the system already.

No. The moral argument I would and have had to discuss is vulnerability of young women, the popularity of termination as a contraception in the social sense and issue of having a service that can be readily accessed but not easily abused.

Ireland has recently woke up to a high profile example of what happens when polarised views become the society norm. On the other end of the scale, in rural parts of China, WHO found babies being aborted at the point of birth by injecting formaldehyde into the skull of a crowning baby.

If ever a subject needed a middle ground to remain the norm, this is it.
