  1. 'In Britain we didn't think about (abortion).' We thought and talked about it for decades. I sometimes think anti-abortion supporters don't know just how often human conceptions abort spontaneously - about 30 per cent. 'What about the woman whose life is at risk who is the mother of four children?' What if she has no children? If she dies, the fetus dies. A gamete is not viable on its own. A human fetus is not viable below the age of 25 weeks, and then only with modern technology. A non-viable fetus is not a baby. Traditionally, in England under Common Law, it was not illegal for a woman to procure an abortion for herself before the fetus had 'quickened', ie before the woman had felt the fetus moving, and it would certainly be non-viable. Double monsters were cut up in utero and the parts removed per vaginam, as no doctor would put a scar on a uterus for that. The vast majority of abortions in Britain occur in the first trimester. Full-term abortions for minor defects are almost nonexistent. Outlawing abortion is sexist, and therefore unacceptable, as sexism is unacceptable, with no concessions to culture or religion.
