...neutrality was what was being encouraged in the Lib Dem Voice piece I linked to. It sounded more like suppression of all religious influence in the political spehere (something I wold contend would not be possible anyway given our national history).

On your other point though, in the absense of high quality, and compulsory, sex ed in this country, and given the two cohorts most likely to have an abortion - undergraduates and late teens - whilst it may be an inconvenience for some I don't think we can safely assume either that everyone presenting for an abortion has a full grasp of how it might affect them, in the short and long terms, and a really good understanding of how not to get into that situation again.

Abortion is seen amongst far too many as the main line of defense against "unwanted" pregnancy. Until rates of conception fall amongst the most vulnerable groups because of better education and planning I think lifting what restrictions remain would be a wrong signal.
