		<description>Who actually believes abortions are used as late contraception? I dont. If they are then people need to be introduced to the pill and the morning after pill. That amount of pain and problems, no way...</description>

		<description>Colin - you have to start from the premise that women&#039;s preferred method of not having a baby is not late abortion. Repeated late abortions are not abuses of the state in the same way that benefit dependancy can be.

So the sense of responsibility  is achieved through education and free access to contraception and pregnancy tests (plus encouraging the sort of family support / values that allow scared young women to come forward early and do a pregnancy test. 

The state should provide this in my view, and use the voluntary sector as a resource, but not as a replacement for a public-funded system with political accountability. It does less harm than a  privatised system would.

Family disintegration is a huge issue - I think I&#039;m on the same page as you there.

Apologies for wandering from the polling questions.</description>
