Different agendas on contentious issue

I think it’s an awful pity Colette Browne used the expression “anti-choice” (Opinion, Jul 25) to describe opponents of legalised abortion.

One might think the destruction of unborn life had the same implications as choosing between strawberry, chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

While it is true that many opponents of abortion are opposed to legislation based on the X case, I can’t help thinking that many on the left who support such legislation might have more objection if the right of the same women to engage in fox-hunting was being enshrined in law. As they say, we all have our agendas.
