By trying to see everyone's point of view, you are in danger of saying nothing. Abortion is a real issue and deserves a real policy. A woman's right to choose is central to any vision of a republican socialist Ireland. Don't tell me that this issue will be dealt with when we have a united Ireland. Women have waited too long.
Abortion is a real issue, facing real women every day.
Deal with it. A Chairde, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate An Phoblacht for giving us an insight into the government's Green Paper on abortion. The statistics coming to us worldwide on abortion are now a modern day holocaust with an estimated 55 million children being killed in abortion clinics. It is exactly the same which saw Britain introduce abortion in 1967. Surely there are some who are prepared to defend the right of life of the most defenceless and vulnerable human being, the child in the womb.
