Meares, former president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said he personally opposed abortion but supported sympathetic counseling to help individuals reconsider. He warned most women seeking abortions did not truly want them and stressed discussing issues with a social worker and a religious adviser could prevent abortions.
