'The Times' front page today carries an article in which the British Pregnancy and Advisory Service (BPAS) is 'demanding' legal reforms to allow abortion on demand. Whilst it may seem here that abortion is available on demand, Britain is one of the very few European countries which does not actually have this. Nonetheless, there were 191,000 abortions in Britain last year. A poll shows that 59% of Britons favour abortion on demand; the chief executive of the BPAS said this showed public support for reform which would bring abortion laws 'in line with modern lifestyles'. Readers of 'The Times' are invited to vote on the question, 'Should abortion be available as a lifestyle choice?'

In most European countries, including Greece and Russia, abortion is available on demand and is used as the preferred method of contraception. One Greek priest I know insists that for this reason alone, Greece should not be called 'an Orthodox country'.
