Collecting signatures for the petition against the Corrie Bill in parliament has been a very instructive and encouraging process. Popular support for 'A Woman's Right to Choose' is clearly enormous. Nearly all women and many men are prepared to sign the petition and often express their horror most colourfully at the very idea that anyone but the woman concerned should have any part in the decision. Suggestions as to what might be done to Corrie's genitals have not been infrequent. Even anti-abortionists have signed on the grounds that while they themselves would never have an abortion they do not see why they should prevent others coming to their own decisions
