We also know that the progressive urge always to find new frontiers at which one can prove one’s superior compassion is never satisfied. This is evident in many policy areas, not just abortion, and in many countries, not just England. If this clause is enacted, it is obvious where the next push will come. We will be told by the same people that it is cruel for a woman in late pregnancy to have to abort on her own, without access to the full range of drugs and clinical procedures and without support, and that all of these things must, therefore, be decriminalised—at which point we will have no abortion law at all.
