Only election fears of TDs can stop abortion

Regardless of the cause of Savita Halappanavar’s tragic death, the powerful international ‘pro–choice’ lobby is demanding that abortion become a right in Ireland.

There will be a small remnant of Catholics obligated to oppose the killing of the innocent, but they will be dismissed as fundamentalists or extremists.
