Clive Bibby: The sanctity of life and the responsibilities that come with equality

Before all my detractors see the opportunity to savage this column as something based on an idealogical persuasion, l want to reassure everyone that it is written purely as a response to those who want to use the overturning of the Roe vs Wade decision by the US Supreme Court for political purposes. 

Like millions of Americans and freedom lovers throughout the world, for me this latest decision represents a welcome return to a situation where the highest court in the land does what it is set up to do - defend the constitution against those who would seek to interpret it for their own political benefit.
