Who can judge a woman seeking an abortion?

IT is difficult to believe we are still at a time when a young woman has to prostrate herself in front of the courts and the media in order to travel to another country to obtain an abortion.

Abortion is not an easy decision for any woman to make. It is a decision agonised over, cried over, sometimes regretted and sometimes it brings relief. It is very often an action taken and lived with entirely alone. One’s own emotional responses to abortion, however, are irrelevant.

If a woman chooses to undertake the journey across the water to seek an abortion, who am I or you to say it is wrong or right?
