Zoe Williams: Fact, fiction and foetuses - The Guardian 7th April 2008

A campaign to reduce the late-term abortion limit insults women - and the intelligence of us all It is almost too tiring to take on the Daily Mail about the abortion time limit. Its argument is so flawed, often so illogical, so savagely misogynistic and so repetitive that the temptation is to ignore it. The flaw in that plan is that the Mail just won't go away. Plus, it is not just the Mail but also a cross-party group led by Nadine Dorries MP launching the "20 Reasons for 20 Weeks" campaign, which seeks to bring the late-term abortion limit down from its current 24 weeks. These 20 reasons, incidentally, read a bit like GCSE coursework, where the kid could think of 13 reasons, wanted to round it up to 20 just for emphasis, and drummed up the shortfall by ad libbing wildly. So if I don't answer all 20, trust me, it is not because they are unanswerable. It is because they are stupid.
