some kind of enormous surprise

Let your brain collapse gently inwards as plans to reduce waiting times for abortion... are opposed by people who want to reduce the week limit on abortion. You'd think that people who support a shorter week limit on abortion would also support safe measures which would make abortions near to the week deadline less common (and less necessary).

That is, unless the people claiming to be interested in reducing the week limit in the name of advances in medical science are entirely opposed to all forms of abortion, and are using the current debate as a cover to advance that agenda. Hmm.

Incidentally, the Science and Technology Committee observed late last year that women were experiencing unneccessary delays in accessing abortion services. Guess who was sitting on that Committee, but objects to any measures which might speed up access while demanding a shorter week limit?

Ten points for anyone who can say "Nadine Dorries."
