Today it has become simply a nationalised industry to kill the unborn child where the reason for the pregnancy is the modern attitude to life, marriage and the family. Life is conceived by the scientists and politicians to be of little consequence in the womb. And people accept this philosophy. Marriage is of no importance to the mind set and philosophy of today's society. The family is too much of an expense in today's mammon worshipping society. Adultery and sodomy are far cheaper ways of living in modern society. Sin and depravity provide less responsibility and hedonism is perceived as much more fun, even when they can't see that it is much less contentment and an unnatural way of life.

The main reason for murdering the unborn infant is either inconvenience or monetary. Having the child would prove to be inconvenient to the couple involved or would prove to be too expensive to have the child.

"What, then, is Harte’s theme? Simply that restrictive abortion legislation, i.e. legislation that attempts to restrict abortion to certain time limits and categories in order to save some lives, is intrinsically unjust. This means that it can never be licit to support it or vote for it. Such an idea seems preposterous at first sight: surely, the pro-life argument runs, it is right and therefore necessary to try to mitigate the effects of abortion law if you cannot repeal it altogether.

This was certainly the thinking behind David Alton’s Abortion (Amendment) Bill of 1987, which argued for an upper time limit on abortions (18 weeks) while conceding to the pro-abortion opposition that some categories, for instance disabled children and those conceived after incest or rape, could be excluded from this time limit. At the time Ann Widdicombe MP described Alton’s proposed Bill as ‘wise, just, humane and civilised’. In retrospect, such a description seems extraordinary. As Harte explains in his patient, scholarly and courteous way, there can be nothing wise, just, humane or civilised in a country’s law which does not protect the lives of its most vulnerable citizens.
