Spin doctors always have their own prescription for a moral vacuum

ONE of the more interesting news stories last week was that of Church of England vicar Joanna Jepson, who took the British police to court over their failure to investigate the abortion of a 24- week-old unborn child with a cleft palate.

Jepson is 27 and was born with a cleft palate herself.

Her case highlights the extreme nature of Britain's abortion laws, but also the dishonesty that sometimes characterises political debate, to the discredit of the politicians involved and the disadvantage of the people they serve.
