my point was always, and stil is: abortion IS illegal by law. nothing else, nothing more.
I do understand that practice of a low might be far from what the text of the law states. One of the best examples of that is/was smoking drugs in the Netherlands: my understanding it that it is not legal by law, but tolerated. The purpose of that is that if the lawmakers must reverse the decision to tolerate then (ie by pressure from EU?) then this can be done very quickly without having to go through the motions of passing a new law. I dont think Mark has stated his personal opinion (?), correct me if Im wrong Mark. I think Mark wanted to let me know that the practice of the law is vastly different than what the law states, as above in the example from the Netherlands. However starting of the message by stating Im talking shit when I merely state a legal fact did not the the rest of the message justice?
