I'm not going to get into the rights/wrongs of abortion, as it has been done to the death elsewhere and I know that there is seldom, if ever any convergence.<BR/><BR/>I'm not challenging what you say about women's rights over their own bodies.

However, unlike many in the anti-choice camp, I have no desire to impose my choices on other women - that's why it's a pro-choice policy and a pro-choice campaign, examining all sides of the issue and doing what we can to ensure that women can make the choice that suits them Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11100766.post-1121341226755253982005-07-14T12:40:00.000+01:002005-07-14T12:40:00.000+01:00Dear Jo,Good to have you here.Many thanks for clar...Dear Jo,<BR/><BR/>Good to have you here.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for clarifying matters as well.
