Yes, Meney is addressing society as a whole, but do parents (who of course make the final choice) not belong to society?
Meney is probably anti-abortion, but that is something to be proud of. Abortion is at epidemic proportions in Australia and should only be carried out in extreme situations.
Mally, you wrote very perceptively, but I question whether the mother (and father) who is in no danger themselves in terms of giving birth, has the total right to decide to terminate a pregnancy. Has that baby not got any right to be born?
