However, what I do believe to genuinely sacred – and, indeed, more useful to the earth as a whole – is trying to ensure that there are as few unbalanced, destructive people as possible. By whatever rationale you use, ending a pregnancy 12 weeks into gestation is incalculably more moral than bringing an unwanted child into this world. It’s those unhappy, unwanted children, who then grew into angry adults, who have caused the great majority of humankind’s miseries. They are the ones who make states feel feral; streets dangerous; relationships violent.
