“Already, there is talk of an amendment to create a right to abortion,” he said. “Whatever people’s views on this sensitive subject, Parliament has already legislated on it, and making it a right risks bringing our courts into the political arena, as in the United States. “What about the socio-economic rights to work and receive benefits, so dear to the Left?
