  • Labour List: Abortion: A man's perspective
    September 7th, 2011
    I write this post anonymously not because of the controversial nature of the abortion debate, but because of the deeply personal impact an abortion can have on someone's life. As a consequence, I don't want people knowing that this is my story, nor do I want any repurcussions for those others involved.

  • Peter Ould (blog): The Coffin in the Room

  • Conservative Home: Why should a failed LibDem candidate hold sway over the Department of Health?
    September 7th, 2011
    The Nadine Dorries/Frank Field amendment on abortion and counselling will be considered in the Commons this evening.

This truth applies to relatively unvexed issues as much as unyieldingly contested ones as abortion. It may therefore be that the amendment, which in part seeks unbiased viewpoints on abortion, is questionable for this reason, and that MPs will therefore be tempted vote them down.
