Whatever the political upheavals of the last few weeks in Britain, it is safe to say that changing the law on abortion will not be on the agenda. It is too divisive an issue and abortion has become too entrenched in our culture. Aren’t the terms of the Brexit negotiations more important, after all? But this is why books like this matter. They keep this politically incorrect issue in the forefront of people’s minds, reminding us that the fundamental aspect of a civilised society does not lie with trade agreements or political allegiances – it is about respect for life.
