Unless, and until, you have worked out your stance on abortion, you will settle little else in this realm. Issues, such as IVF, cloning, surrogacy, etc., are secondary to it. The world in which we live deliberately puts to death its own children. There are one and a half million abortions in USA every year, half a million in Japan. In the UK, we have put to death 5 million since the 1967 legalisation of abortion.
Men claim that good comes from it, both for the mother and the child.
Our taxes pay for it and our votes support it, and if we say and do nothing, then our hearts and minds condone it. Abortion is an emotive issue. Therefore, we should grasp two irrefutable facts. First, the latest official figures for abortions in the UK in 1999 were 183,250 - a number greater that the inhabitants of the second city of Wales, Swansea. That means that there are 580 abortions every working day.
