AFTER the recent findings by the Care Quality Commission, that 50 abortion clinics and some doctors have been deliberately and contemptuously flouting the law, is it not about time that the 1967 Abortion Act was repealed?

The Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, said that he was shocked and he was preparing to report doctors and organisations to the police.

One would hope and expect that if any illegality is proven, then the full measure of the law should be brought to bear, and justice seen to be done.

We have, since 1967, seen more than 7,000,000 babies aborted in the UK, with the current rate at over 200,000 abortions per year, and that one in three women by the age of 45 will have undergone an abortion, this suggests to me that there is something very seriously wrong at the core of our society.

Perhaps if the British people were to see abortion, and have full knowledge of the status of the baby in the womb prior to it being aborted, then I do believe that public opinion would change very dramatically on this issue.

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, and if we really consider ourselves a just and compassionate society, then how can we justify the aborting of more than 200,000 of our own humankind in the womb who have no voice and no choice in their own destiny?
