Anyone who was actually part of the movement to systematically deceive the public in the lead-up to the war should've been drummed out of public life, yes, and it's to the great shame of both the US and the UK that this did not happen

That said, it's not like Nicholson had any good ideas after the war either, she's a Tory piece of shit through and through, so there's no real moral dilemma here

Why are you trying to defend every single shitty thing she does "Oh, she didn't propose a wholesale abortion ban because she couldn't defend that position in debate" "Oh, she didn't unilaterally commit UK troops to the invasion because she didn't have the authority"

Because people are entitled to have different views to you - radical, I know. Even though I didn't support the Iraq War (without a UN resolution), many people did because of Hussein's abuse of human rights. They're entitled to that view just as I am to mine.

As much as I am pro-choice, many people are unsettled by abortion or by late abortions. They are entitled to that view. I will resist anyone who tries to make abortions illegal, but I wouldn't try to silence their view.

Halving the length of time in which someone can have an abortion is making abortion illegal It is not making *all* abortions illegal, but it's making *many* abortions illegal, for no good fucking reason
