As I suspect is so often the case in such issues, the real picture is more complex than we have recognised. It would be useful to know the statistics for abortions (in the UK, at any rate) by age group and socio-economic background. I would have less sympathy for a professional woman of, say, 24 who accepted the 'life-style' approach. That would seem more like justification of a conscious choice than pressure from one lobby group. The voices of opposition to abortion are not unheard. The case of a not-very-bright teenager from a disadvantaged background who, perhaps, sleeps with a boy because she craves love from someone, is, I submit, different.
