Still Not Terminated

Since Nadine Dorries' proposals for taxpayer-subsidised anti-abortion propaganda were defeated in Parliament last year, the Government has naturally been plotting to impose them anyway. Anne Milton, the health minister famed for trying to enhance the health of infant resources with a Milk Snatcher Redux scheme, set up a cross-party group after September's vote, apparently with the sole object of determining how best to undermine it. The Dorries option of preventing the British Pregnancy Advice Service from providing pregnancy advice is on the table, but the honourable members have also been given a triangulation option whereby anti-abortion groups will be allowed to spread their gospel provided that they register first. Understandably, debate is still raging about whether such groups would be pestered to make their ethical stance clear to clients or whether they might be permitted to take the Dorries road of presenting arrant garbage as fact.
