It was fashionable after last assisted dying debate that to say it showed the Commons at its best. I don't think it did - it showed *some* MPs at their best but some just recounting emotional stories with little analysis or evidence, including on safeguards. Being an MP is about more than emoting. Too many bill proponents don't seem to understand that.

We think it is time to look at Abortion without emotions but really for what it is. Without the feminist vitriol and the hard cases but from scientific lens. Can the Commons do this, just as they did today with Assisted Suicide? Abortion is very similar case to Assisted Suicide and currently the safeguarding is simply just not there.
