"UK abortion law. To comply with the 1967 Abortion Act, two doctors must

Ireland, where abortion is still illegal. "


Impressive wording, the real world however is another matter.


It is the law of the land. Anything is possible if you choose to break
the law, of course. Are you now suggesting that parents who cannot
afford children should have illegal abortions?

Says someone who seems think cutting and pasting off a website makes him
knowledgable on a subject.


Not at all. The whole point of the references to the UK's leading
authority on the matter and the 1967 Act itself were to enable you to
read the law for yourself and thus become better informed (a forlorn
hope, I know).

If a woman wants an abortion in this country she can get one whatever the
reason.


I said LEGAL abortion, as you very well know.

I know what I'm talking about in this matter


That would be a first ...
