This letter was sent to the Observer but was not printed.
The letter from Baroness Gould et al. about Education and abortion (4th November) cites lower abortion figures from Belgium and Holland to justify liberal contraception and comprehensive sex education even in faith schools. However, abortion figures from these countries cannot be directly compared with U.K. figures. The reason for this, according to my Dutch colleagues is that very early abortions brought on by medical treatment, wich they call "over time treatment" are not included in the figures as this is not obligatory.
