Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.

So far it has been assumed that the only pregnancies which are aborted are accidental ones and the only foetuses destroyed those whose mothers could not bear the thought of their becoming children. In a just world this would be the case, but the world is far from just. Too many women are forced to abort by poverty, by their menfolk, by their parents.

Millions of young people… are discarded from work, are unemployed.
