Intact Dilation and Extraction - in Other Countries

In Other Countries

Questioned about United Kingdom government policy on the issue in Parliament, Baroness Andrews stated that

"We are not aware of the procedure referred to as 'partial-birth abortion' being used in Great Britain.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    The American adolescent, then, is faced, as are the adolescents of all countries who have entered or are entering the machine age, with the question: freedom from what and at what price? The American feels so rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what it is he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.
    Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
