Regular contact with women caught up in this intensely human crisis leads one inexorably to a position supporting abortion on demand.

Drug abuse begins in adolescent groups and peer-to-peer transmission is responsible for epidemics. This is most malignant when it appears in disadvantaged minority groups in the inner city.
