Abortion a motherly act?

Found this via a news item from SPUC (separate post on this). Ann Furedi, chief executive of BPAS says

Why rising abortion rates are not a problem

Let’s welcome the fact that women take motherhood so seriously that, with the aid of abortion, they put it off till they’re ready.

She writes:

Caitlin Moran, a columnist for The Times (London), argued this point eloquently in April 2007, in an article headlined ‘Abortion: why it’s the ultimate motherly act’. ‘My belief in the ultimate sociological, emotional and practical necessity for abortion [became] even stronger after I had my two children’, she wrote. ‘It is only after you have had a nine-month pregnancy, laboured to get the child out, fed it, cared for it, sat with it until 3am, risen with it at 6am, swooned with love for it and been reduced to furious tears by it that you really understand just how important it is for a child to be wanted. And, possibly even more importantly, to be wanted by a reasonably sane, stable mother.’

How perverse society's thinking has become. Read Furedi's article here.
