Guardian, 6 June 05: "Jailed baby killer fuels debate on abortion after rape"

This is a subject that I feel quite strongly about. I am inclined to believe that any pregnancy which does not have the love and commitment of BOTH its parents, and most definitely one resulting from rape, is best terminated, although ultimately, of course, it is the woman who must decide. 

The attitude of the Catholic Church, which condemns abortion under virtually all circumstances (even rape) I find immoral and abhorrent.
