DEFENDING THE UNBORN: In Wilberforce’s day, defenders of the slave trade alleged that the British economy would collapse if it were ended.
In 1967, the fear of the “population bomb” persuaded many to accept the Abortion Act. Today, even with global warming to worry us, the realisation that we are attacking the unborn on a massive scale makes people uneasy.
Those who believe in the value of all human life are called many names, as Wilberforce was; “ghoulish” is new. But pretending that killing is curing is only effective for a limited time.
