This seems to be begging the question, no?

Congrats to all involved.Well, I googled both abortion and al Qaeda together as search terms, and this is what I came up with:
Quote:Abortion is worse than al-Qaeda,' says Duke of Kent's son Lord Nicholas WindsorI couldn't find any connection though between Osama and abortion.
Lord Nicholas Windsor, the son of the Duke of Kent, claims that Islamic terrorism is not such a big threat to Europe as abortion.
The Duchess of Kent has withdrawn from public life to such an extent that she is often described as a recluse, but her son Lord Nicholas Windsor is determined to speak out over causes that he believes in.
Lord Nicholas, 40, who lost his place in the line of succession when he became a Roman Catholic, has written a controversial article in which he claims that abortion is a bigger threat to Europe than al-Qaeda and Islamic terrorism.
He describes abortion as "the single most grievous moral deficit in contemporary life" and calls for a "new abolitionism for Europe" in which abortion, like the slave trade, can be abolished.
While the threat of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda calls for "robust and, where necessary, lethal response", he claims in the American religious journal First Things that "these are not threats that appear existential and have not as yet provoked a real sense of public crisis".
