NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
I had an abortion when I was 33.
It was a deeply personal, and in my case, painful decision because I very much want to be a mother.
So when our new Minister for Women, Maria Caulfield MP, nonchalantly explained that she was entitled to have a personal view on abortion without facing political criticism, it may have seemed uncontroversial to some.
But here’s the rub: her personal views are already protected in law because she can choose not to have an abortion.
