Sweet Child of Mine

There are approximately 550 abortions every day in the UK. In the US, the figure is 3,550.
Thankfully, the incidence of abortion has declined worldwide, as access to family planning education and contraceptive services has increased. Abortion incidence in the United States declined 8% from 1996 to 2003.
Abortion is a source of considerable debate, controversy, activism, passion and hostility. Positions on the ethical, moral, philosophical, biological, and legal issues on abortion vary widely between both women and men and from country to country.
However, the pro-life movement, which argues against access to abortion, usually provides the most powerful moral, religious and philosophical arguments. Pro-choice arguments, which give the women the right to kill her baby even where the foetus is healthy and there is no danger during delivery to the mother - tend to be shallow and self-centered. Pro-choice foetuses are usually aborted because the child would simply be a nuisance to the mother.
The pro-life position argues that a human foetus is a human being with the right to live making abortion tantamount to murder. An interesting insight into the pro-life/pro-choice debate is provided by Dr Aleck Bourne, an abortionist who was quoted as saying, "I have never known a woman who, after her baby was born, was not overjoyed that I had not killed it"
