Termination is big business
Forget the moral rights and wrongs. Forget, too, talk of a woman's right vs a baby's right. Britons should see abortion as a consumer issue. They 'll cheer Nadine Dorries MP for ending the monopoly enjoyed by some abortion providers. For years the Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire has campaigned to provide women seeking abortion with independent counselling; finally, the government has agreed.
About time, too. Until now, organisations that provide terminations were permitted to counsel ladies who sought advice before their abortion. These organisations are sometimes called "abortion charities", because they offer women abortions free of charge with the NHS. But despite their "charity" status these are private providers who get £60 million a year from the Department of Health for their services. Given their vested interest in the procedure, you can imagine the advice they were giving the woman seeking counsel: go for it, girl. In other words,cheap ugg boots online, eliminate it, girl.
Had this been the problem in a other section of the market, consumer groups could have been up in arms long ago. Imagine Big Pharma informing the public their anti-malaria vaccine was the only person that worked. "Which?" along with other consumer lobby groups would be waving placards and launching protests from the abuse of clients.
Guardian writers and readers have been gnashing their teeth concerning the government's proposals being anti-feminist. What nonsense: it's anti-feminist to treat women as dummies who must take advice from "experts" with a vested interest. If I wish to have an abortion or any even minor surgery, don't I deserve independent counsel on the pros and cons for taking this type of step?
A business that stands to achieve from the procedure, may it be vaccination or termination, cannot provide independent counsel to people contemplating the process. That isn't judgemental moralising, just good economics.
