And by making a big fuss about abortion, about how heavy a decision it is, you are putting barriers in the way of young women getting one. There is too damn much pressure on women in this area, and it is outrageous that people on the left should contribute to this pressure by moral posturing.

Social pressure can be as damaging sometimes as criminal law.
