A recent vote in the Australian parliament resulted in what amounted to support for the anti-abortion lobby, and indeed support for the thugs that gather outside abortion clinics to harass the women who are trying to enter. That surprised everyone, because it's pretty clear that the majority opinion in this country is that abortion should be legal. It appears that our parliamentarians do not reflect the views of the majority. That leaves me wondering whether democracy works. -- Peter Moylan http://www.pmoylan.org Newcastle, NSW, Australia
