Article Abstract:
The abortion debate is strengthening in the UK. Anti-abortionists are using stronger language to proclaim their message, and abortion will be an issue in the 1997 election campaign, with 50 candidates standing for the Pro-Life Alliance Party. Differing views regarding abortion are reflected in the medical profession and health authorities. A 1996 survey found that access to abortion under the National Health Service (NHS) is related to the attitude of the key consultant, and 1995 statistics show a wide national disparity in the percentage of abortions performed under the NHS.
