The coverage went to pains to be fair and balanced in relation to an issue that everyone finds painful. The government's Green Paper appears to be trying to take in all views. It was a long time coming. Let's hope the government has the guts to grasp the nettle and that the opposition doesn't use the issue to play petty politics. 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.
