Ireland has little room for a pro-life feminist in abortion debate

Cora Sherlock says there is nothing positive about abortion for women, and the debate in this country pits women against women in the worst possible way

I can sympathise with some of the anger expressed by Louise O’Neill in her article to mark International Women’s Day.

It’s easy to be angry as a woman about some aspects of Irish society. Short sentences for rapists, lack of adequate parental leave, negative attitudes towards breastfeeding — these are all things that should stir irate feelings in both men and women who want to improve Irish society.
