How did we get here? Legislating immorality (feat. Christian Hacking)

from About Abortion · host Dave Brennan

As we near the end of "Phase 1", in which we are painting the general landscape of "abortion" in the UK, we are spending a few episodes asking the question, "How did we get here?"  In this week's episode we are focusing on the legislative answer to that question, and we are anxious to drive home the point that law matters. Indeed, if there is one single answer as to why the killing of human babies continues at such unimaginable pace in our land it is simply this: because our laws permit it.  Take a seat and listen to the story of how "abortion" journeyed from being a serious crime to a process as free, legal, and easy as ordering a complimentary paint sample from an interior design shop.   Links:   https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4401...  https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...  https://www.johnstonsarchive.net/poli...  https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/20...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J9uT...
