1000 people die each year through contracting MRSA in british hospitals each year.
in 2003 177,286 abortions (97% of legal abortions) were carried out for social reasons.
which is more scary? which should politicians be caring more about?
Seriously.

MRSA is a poltical issue.
More should be done in terms of personal hygiene of visitors and staff in hospitals. Hospitals will never be as clean under a PFI system because the service provider will always be looking to spend as little as possible to keep profits high. Therefore we will have new, hospitals built on the cheap and poorly maintained.
Abortion:
Abortion is a social choice which women not politicians have the right to make. It only becomes a political issue when mistakes are made (see the attached link)

In my opinion this girl shouldn't get get any compensation - because she should know the consequences before having sex. Therefore asking the tax payer for £250K is wrong. Besides she asked for an abortion and she got one!

how can abortion not be a political issue? it's life we're dealing with! even if you beleive it not to be life the opposite opinion makes it an issue. and if 97% of abortions are social problems, then that also kinda makes it a governmental problem. it may be a probelm that lies in education, or with social services but it is most definatly a political issue!
as for what "social reasons" refer to, the source is "summary abortion statistics, England and Wales: 2003", Statistical Bulletin 2004/14, Department of Health 2004, Table 2. i got this from another source though and i'll look more into it when i have more time...but i presume it's basically "can't afford it", "don't want it" etc. so pretty much it's people not wanting to face up to the consequences of what they've done...

There's me thinking that the growth of MRSA was directly connected to the amount of anti-biotics fed to animals and the anti-biotic restistent strains of grain brought (ILLEGALLY) into the EU, all of which undermine the human defence system and render anti-biotic medication useless.
A fact which the re-discoverer Alexander Flemming stated in 1929: "Don't over-use penicillin, because the body and the bactaria will become immune to it."
Oh well.

It is:
A) a hospital superbug.
B) a scare tatic by the conservative party.
c) easily solved by cleaner hospitals
(at least one of these is a lie)
