"Any loop hole will open the field to more and more legal- ized abortions so that eventuai- ly we are all on the band- wagon of expediency." THALIDAMIDE DISASTER She added: "Of course, there are specific cases where an abortion seems necessary. Yet I feel that if it isn't possible people will make do and usual- ly, by facing up to the prob- lem, become finer people."
