Palerider you are obviously very passionate in your views and it is amusing as well as interesting reading your comments.  I found it oddly disconcerting though that you see this purely as an intellectual excersice.  For example you make no mention of or allude to any right of the mother, may I enquire why?  Do the social and environmental circumstances or conditions within which she exists mean nothing to you?  The basis of your stance is human rights so what of the human rights of the mother?

I can understand and indeed sympathise with your views but on balance I find that the ultimate descision regards a mothers right to judge over her unborn baby should be hers and hers alone.  Indeed I think that is why the law is framed thus, perhaps it was recognised that the law has no right to be so intrusive?   

Sam made an interesting observation.....

A trivial matter but you made the comment "A court case currently stands and a court case that was decided on a flawed and obviously incorrect assumption." A landmark case with considered oppinion dismissed with such confidence and presumption.........or perhaps just grandstanding......anyway as I said a mere bagatelle.
