Abortion lobby on the back foot

On Wednesday the Health Minister, Dawn Primarolo MP (pictured), will be giving evidence to the Science and Technology Select Committee. She has already provided her answers to our assumed questions via The Independent newspaper this morning. I won’t even go there with regard to how this is simply an attempt to use the media to spin a position which is now–in light of all the new evidence which the DOH are choosing to deliberately ignore–simply untenable.

The desperate tricks taking place behind the scenes all have their roots in money and are nothing to do with choice.

Let me explain.

The DOH paid the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to establish a committee in order to draw up guidelines which would establish the framework within which the abortion industry would operate.

The RCOG has given evidence to the select committee and the Minister will use the evidence given to her by the RCOG to provide the foundation for her answers.
