Abortion poll dealt with key questions

DR AUDREY DILLON of the Pro-Life Campaign dismisses the findings of the recent MRBI poll on abortion on the basis that it “made no distinction” between different grounds for abortion.

This is incorrect.

The poll measured respondents’ attitudes to legalised abortion under a number of different circumstances, including the threat of suicide, other risks to the woman’s life, rape and the foetus’s inability to survive outside the womb.
