Firstly Sir, without wishing to sound condescending in any way, thank you for the polite response.
I agree. I also see other circumstances as well which can impinge upon that basic right. As I alluded to earlier I think consideration has to be given to personal, economic or social circumstances. I understand that these can even include lifestyle choices which I find pretty abhorrent and would agree that in circumstances like this I would not feel opposed to abortions being denied.
... good point well made, and I'm sure that if the majority view followed your oppinion it would be challenged in court and more than likely the law would be changed.
...some. Strangely enough the fact that they trawled around looking at the historical contexts, laws and practises is why I think that the consideration should stand the test of time is it draws upon many different contexts and legal systems etc.
I would just mention that being British I am not so familiar with the US constitution or Roe. Life is a bit simpler in the UK as laws reflect the wishes of the people following representations to Members of Parliament. We are not encumbered by a written constitution (thank god!!!)
The current UK laws regarding abortion were under free vote in 1967 and are updated from time to time but the majority view is that abortion should be legal. I can thus generalise and moralise with on the topic but you probably need to have in-depth discussions on constitutional issues which are best left with your countrymen/women.
