Now comes the hard part: working out ways to make good options for women who choose the procedure (including the question of access; just because it's decriminalised doesn't mean one can find a local doctor who will want to), as well developing options for those for whom the decision is more complicated than just 'don't want it, get rid of it'.
And yes, I think there should be room for both in the Christian ethos. Helping those at the end of their tether, trapped by their circumstances, and valuing the possibilities of life.
