Extract
The Abortion Act is the law of the land and has already proved of immense benefit to many of my patients. It is there to be used and to be applied uniformly throughout the country. It is the antagonism to abortion reform of many doctors, particularly N.H.S. consultants in certain parts of the country, that creates long queues for abortion. . . If all doctors, general practitioners and consultants, put their patient’s welfare before their own religious and biased cobwebbed ideas on abortion, then the new Act would present no problems at all..
