A debate on abortion in London, England.
Details:
Join us for what is anticipated to be one of the most significant abortion debates of the decade.
Ann Furedi, CEO of the UK’s largest private abortion provider, BPAS, will be going head to head with Gregg Cunningham, the founder and director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, a group that makes pictures of aborted babies available for public education projects across the globe.
The point of contention is the use of graphic abortion images outside of abortion clinics in the UK.
The Resolution: “This house believes that it is morally wrong for groups to approach women and display abortion imagery outside facilities which provide abortion services.”
The event will be charied by Brendan O’Neill, Editor of Spiked Online. It will take place at 18:30 on 3rd of October at the Emmanuel Centre, Marsham Street, Westminster, SW1P 3DW.
Admission is free.

I’m confused about what this debate intends to resolve. They’re trying to establish an uncontested morality? That seems *pragmatically* impossible. That seems like it’s the whole point: the sides have different moralities that they aren’t going to give up. That’s the point of legislation.
If they exchanged “is morally wrong” for “should be illegal” then I’d see the point of the debate. But what do the “defendants” care if the opposition thinks it’s immoral? As long as it’s legal then they can whinge all they want; it’s not going to stop Cunningham’s group or any others who do similar things.
That’s all fine by me, but it just makes the debate seem ridiculous.
