THIS IS THE “CRISIS”?

There’s an abortion crisis happening in Great Britain and it’s not the one you imagine. No, it’s not the 190,000 abortions every year (silly me, I thought THAT was the crisis), the crisis is there aren’t enough doctors to kill, I mean abort, no, terminate that many pregnancies every year.

“Ann Furedi, chief executive of BPAS, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which carries out a quarter of all abortions performed in England, said: "There is a real crisis looming. Unless we can address the problem and motivate doctors to train in abortion, we may well face a situation in five years' time in which women's access to abortion is severely restricted. It is our biggest headache."”

Fortunately, the abortion lobby in Britain isn’t at the point of making abortion procedures a mandatory work requirement, which I thought was going to be tossed out in the article.

“Kate Guthrie, a spokesperson on family planning for the RCOG and a consultant in sexual and reproductive health in the North of England, said…"There is a new core curriculum being introduced in August and my view is that we must ensure abortion care is part of core training. We would not make [carrying out terminations] compulsory but we need to ensure trainees are given the knowledge so they are more likely to want to develop the skills."”

It take a special kind of person who wants to learn that type of skills.

The scariest bit of the article was a throwaway line,

“One in three women has an abortion at some point in her life.”

Truth is not only stranger than fiction, it’s a lot scarier, too.
