ABS - discs required? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

This has been bugging me for ages now and im wondering if someone can clear this up.

My father told me that for a car to have ABS it must have disc brakes all round, however i have recently been to my local Ford dealer to look at a couple of Fiesta/Focus' and they all have ABS (apparently) but have drum brakes at the rear!?

Can someone clear this up, do these cars just have ABS at the front, as I imagine it would be very difficult to lock disc brakes.
