Offer Christ's sake, do call me Steve. Or Stephen if you like, though only my mother (most of the time) and my missus (when I'm in trouble) call me that. I've had a thing about being called Shaw ever since those Catholic priest twats called me it all the time at school even when they'd known me for seven years. Cloistered idiots. Anyway, JOE, your uncertain yet clearly-expressed stance on abortion doesn't suggest that you're a leading warrior crusading for enlightenment within the Church. Glad to hear that I'm wrong.

Incidentally, have I told you that I'm so anti-abortion that I have some great ideas as to how we can reduce drastically the numbers of unwanted pregnancies whilst still wanting all women to have easy and free access to abortion if they want it? Unfortunately, my methods don't include abstinence, the rhythm method or tying a knot in it, so I have a feeling that the Church won't be listening...
