It has always struck me that perhaps the only common ground that exists between the pro-choice and anti-abortion movements should be that we all should be huge supporters of giving women access to effective contraception. All that placard waving and harassment of women facing a difficult choice could be channelled so much more effectively. Evidence-based sexual health education and access to contraception clearly will lower abortion rates.
Lawrence Cannon and the government are appallingly dismissive and ignorant of women's health, if they think they can ignore contraception in their plight to save women's lives.
