We must avoid the barbaric solution of killing our children

WHY are we debating the abortion issue yet again? The majority of the Irish electorate have spoken clearly on this issue on a number of occasions.

I read the letters by RE Silvera and Desmond Fitzgerald (February 25). I find it difficult to see a coherent argument in either of them.

Both start off bemoaning the lack of abortion in Ireland and then ramble on about “backward morality”, contraception and, as usual, religion. In my opinion these have nothing to do with abortion.
