As a third ...This entire post is complete nonsense. As a third year law student who has studied medical law for a year, the law does not require, and never has required, either doctor to see the women before approving the abortion request. They can do so on the basis of her medical notes. However, this has absolutetely no bearing on the fact that a doctor must still carry out the whole abortion procedure. These are two requirements which are entirely separate and unrelated. <br /><br />And before anyone tries to argue that this is incorrect, just read the law below: Section 1 of the Abortion Act 1967 states that in order for an abortion to legal, it must be conducted 'by a registered medical practitioner' and that 'two registered medical practitioners [must be] of the opinion, formed in good faith' that one of the statutory grounds for abortion is met. Registered medical practitioner is taken to mean doctor, and so nurses cannot authorise, nor can they carry out abortions. The abortion procedure must be authorised and carried out by a doctor. But nowhere does it say that the registered medical practitioners must see the woman. This nonense article leads you to believe that the procedure can be carried out by nurses alone without any supervision or involvement of doctors, but as the stated law makes clear, this is rubbish. A 1981 House of Lords case (Royal College of Nursing v Dept of Health and Social Security [1981] AC 800) held that the abortion must be 'prescribed by a registetred medical practitioner [and] carried out in accordance with his directions', and he must 'remain in charge throughout’. Hence nurses are permitted to carry out parts of abortion procedure but only if supervised by a doctor. I would love to know where the author of this article got his completely inaccurate information! The guidance he is whittering on about simply restates what the law says, and what it has always said.

The existence of one implies the other two. The sexual revolution was intended to sever those connections in order to avoid both the commitment of marriage, and the obligation of parenthood. Thus could personal gratifictaion become the penultimate purpose of human sexuality. Effective contraception that didn't depend upon male cooperation was the critical enabling technology for that revolution. Contraception still fails however.

But it takes two to make a baby, and we've got to take into account the society we live in where just not having sex is looked on as barmy. It's fairly common for women to have abortions when they discover that their boyfriend or husband (who they thought would support them) just isn't interested, and sometimes pressure can come from parents or friends telling them 'to do the responsible thing'. Women have even reported moral pressure from doctors or nursing staff when a scan suggests that there might be a developmental problem. This is normally along the lines of 'think of the effect on your other children'. There's also cases of abuse (not just rape) when a woman is put under pressure to practice unsafe sex by her partner, or when a woman is in a violent relationship and doesn't feel like she can bring a child into that situation.<br /><br />What bugs me is that the 'pregnancy advisory centres' don't actually help women in these situations. They offer the 'choice' of 'abortion or here's the number of an adoption agency'. They then spend a lot of time trying to undermine the integrity of charities that do try to help women have their babies in difficult circumstances.Fiddlestickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664750353048100396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-77836193162030515422014-03-17T04:33:30.364-07:002014-03-17T04:33:30.364-07:00Ashley, I'm a bit confused.

'Equality as long as you're prepared to abort any unplanned children, otherwise you get left behind financially, educationally, socially etc.' is not equality. Maybe some very tough women are happy with this situation, but, like you say, a lot of women suffer from depression and regret.Fiddlestickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664750353048100396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-6862998064653308642014-03-16T12:55:18.984-07:002014-03-16T12:55:18.984-07:00Those consequences wouldn't have happened if a...Those consequences wouldn't have happened if anti-choicers like yourself didn't shame women for controlling their own fertility.<br /><br />And when safe abortions are less likely to cause death than even the safest childbirth, it's clear that abortion is better for a woman's health, overall.Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029187310122412297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-9765294450903512552014-03-16T07:56:29.676-07:002014-03-16T07:56:29.676-07:00In the interwar period,women who slept with men th...In the interwar period,women who slept with men they weren't married to were known as 'amateur prostitutes'.
