Defenders of abortion often argue that an unborn child is not really alive. So far as I am aware there is no statute or legal ruling on this point here in the UK, but we definitely have an abortion industry.
Cromer Town Football Club is involved in a legal bid to avoid losing its premises. Their lease runs out 21 years after the demise of the last surviving descendant of Edward VII who was "in being" at the time the bequest was made. KIng Olav V of Norway died 21 years ago, but the club believe that they have the right to another 20 years because another descendant, Lord Harewood, did not die until last year.
The point at issue is that Lord Harewood was not born until two months after the date of the bequest. Therefore he was arguably "in being" at the time of the bequest - in the womb. But this argument can succeed only if it is accepted by a court of law that an unborn child is alive. Doing so might outrage the abortion lobby.
