Abortion in Britain and the USA

1967 Abortion Act passed making abortion legal in England, Wales and Scotland.

1973 The US Supreme Court legalises abortion in the first three months across the US.

1982 Pro-life militant kidnaps an abortion doctor and his wife and holds them for eight days before releasing them unharmed.

1998 Dr Barnett Slepian is shot and killed, bringing the number of abortion doctors murdered in the States to seven.

2000 Abortions in England rise by 20 per cent after Millennium celebrations.

In Britain, abortion is a non-party political issue. The US has 47 pro-life senators and 34 pro-choice senators. Attorney General John Ashcroft is opposed to abortion.

President Bush said in his inaugural speech: 'I will lead our nation toward a culture that values life - the life of the elderly and sick, the life of the young and the life of the unborn.'

4. I prefer "pro-birth" since they only care about the birthing process.

After that... to hell with 'ya!
