Abortion

Sir: The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which, oddly enough, seems to advise against pregnancy, proclaims in its advertisement 'Abortion! let the people decide'. The nub of the pro-life case is that the people most vitally affected by abortion are unable to express their views from within the womb. Only a bigot, however, would presume that their views would be other than opposed to abortion. J. Alan Smith 83 Ferguson Avenue, Romford, Essex RM2 6RP
