Dave Is Right

Abortion: a worrying tale of leeches. He concluded:

So this is what all this nonsense about “compromise” boils down to - telling women who are less than 24 weeks pregnant and who don't want to have a baby that, legally, they must go through with the birth. We then leave them the terrible choice of procuring an abortion elsewhere or of bearing a child they do not want.

To me, this is immoral. It is not a conjecture about lives that could be led, but an action that will damage lives that are being led. Tonight conscientious MPs should put on their leech-socks and vote against all these parasitical amendments.

And they did. The Guardian blogged it live (via Chicken Yoghurt). They Work for You has the full debate.

There's nothing DA says that I disagree with, so I'm not going to add anything.
