LONDON, June 20, 2002 (LSN.ca) – The UK pro-life group Society for the Protection of Unborn Children has pointed out that the man likely to become the next archbishop of Canterbury is against abortion.  However, Dr. Rowan Williams, reportedly the top choice of the Crown Appointments Commission – to be formally ratified by the Prime Minister and Queen – is shunned by conservatives for his support of ordination of homosexuals and women priests.  Rowan, who according to The Times will be named to take over from Dr. George Carey as head of the worldwide Anglican church in July,  has described his views on abortion as “ultra-conservative” and has condemned the morning-after pill as a form of abortion.  See the Times coverage and a 2001 Southern Cross article detailing Rowan’s views:  https://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-332465,00.html https://www.anglicanmediasydney.asn.au/august2001/world2.html
