I do not care what kind of unpleasant letters are sent to me anymore. It does not bother me at all. I want to nail my colours to the mast and say this - I believe that a woman has the right to choose, not just in the circumstances indicated in the major case, but also in the circumstance where there is severe foetal abnormality and the foetus has no capacity to live or where there is incest or rape. Providing for abortion in those three instances, in addition, is the most humane way to respond to this most terribly difficult human situation. I am a man and we ought to listen very carefully to the voices of women before we presume in this area.
