GLASGOW - One of Britain's senior Catholic church leaders last night attacked Labour over its stance on abortion, accusing the party of having "consistently avoided" "condemning it. Cardinal Thomas Winning of Glasgow so accused Mr Tony Blair of shaving "washed his hands" of a row two years ago, in which Labour pro and anti abortionists in Scotland were at loggerheads.
But the Labour leader last night hit back, saying he "profoundly disagreed" that how MPs vote on abortion should be a matter of party policy.
