Michael Howard states that he would like to see the abortion limit reduced to 20 weeks from a ludicrous 24 weeks. The prime minister now accuses him of attempting to make an election issue out of it.
This is the same prime minister who opposes any kind of parliamentary debate on the abortion issue.
The same prime minister who has devoted so much parliament time to the fox hunting debate.
Poor foxes, poor Tony. Screw the humans.

Tebbit said: "Considering Blair is the man who let out of prison a whole battalion of murderers, including the man that crippled my wife, that nearly killed me and murdered my friends, I find it difficult to take his claims seriously."
"I feel a sensation of nausea that a man so detached from reality and truth could be the prime minister of this country."
In reaction, a Labour party spokesman said: "The government acts on the advice it receives from the police and the intelligence service, and the application of anti-terrorist law."
Oh, so that's ok then is it? At what stage does a home secretary intervene in an issue such as this? Is this the same intelligence service that told Blair about the WMD in Iraq?
Plans for the attempted coup in Equatorial New Guinea that occurred in March 2004 were know to the British government since Jan 2004. The alleged financier of the coup, a Lebanese businessman called Eli Calil, just happened to rent a flat to Peter Mandleson. Apparently they were mates but – as it happened – did not discuss the coup. Hmmm really.
The Budd report published 21st Dec 2004 decided that David Blunket did indeed speed up his lover's nanny's visa application. What's more, the email trail that led to this seems to have gone cold thereby preventing any verdict of a cover up. Fortunately, the government have now taken steps to prevent this from happening in the future. What they have done is order all civil servants to delete all emails older than 3 months, and that this is to be done before the freedom of information act comes into force from 1st Jan 2005!! Brilliant!
