At a loss on Finlay stance

While not taking issue with your columnist, Fergus Finlay’s views on the suggestion by Richard Dawkins that it would be a moral and sensible choice to abort a child with Down Syndrome before birth, I am at a loss as to how he can be a member of a political party whose policy it is to support and legislate for those who would wish to end an unborn life on that very basis.

If that policy ever becomes a reality, how many ‘Joe Kavanaghs’ will be denied access to the planet on the basis of what must be a highly questionable human right? I dread to think.
