Following my threads about Paul Conrathe and what success in the challenge against the Tavistock means for the availability of abortion rights for women in the UK, someone called Laurence Wilkinson decided to get involved in Paul& #39;s defence.

Now, I& #39;m not that interested in Laurence& #39;s views me - I have no ambition to be on his Christmas card list - but it is worth noting he doesn& #39;t actually disagree with my analysis. Leaving his personal insults aside, he just has a different view about what he calls informed consent.

What is interesting about Laurence - given that he is defending Paul Conrathe - a go-to lawyer for those attacking abortion rights, gay rights and trans rights.

He is Legal Counsel of ADF International.

If you don& #39;t know about ADF International, you really should. They have run a series of anti-gay hate campaigns. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/activists-takes-aim-anti-lgbtq-hate-group-alliance-defending-freedom-n936391">https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/n...

They oppose assisted dying and have targeted the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) for reconsidering its position on the issue https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/revealed-us-anti-lgbt-hate-group-dramatically-increases-uk-spending/">https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/r...
