According to official figures, almost one in four of all pregnancies in the UK end in termination, and a record number, 194,200, were carried out in 2004, an increase of 3,500 on the previous year. If this rate of increase of 2% continues, the 200,000 mark will be reached in 2006.
In this book, Dr. Williams, who was Director of Public Health in Croydon for many years, shows that the advice offered by a leading Christian organisation (CARE) is badly compromised and is, in practice, no different to that given by secular organisations. The result of Dr. Williams’s examination of the message of pro-choice abortion counselling, including information from British and American pro-choice organisations, is clearly set out and he writes with true Christian compassion arising from his absolute commitment to the Word of God.
