Is Fitzgerald advocating a lawless, free-for-all society

Desmond Fitzgerald’s latest, tiresome personal attack on Taoiseach Enda Kenny fails to mask the bizarre logic of his views on abortion (Letters, 28 August).

Fitzgerald says “If you are against gay marriage, then don’t marry a gay person” and “If you object to abortion …. then you won’t have an abortion”, because by doing either of these things, third parties are unaffected, and it is, therefore, none of their business.

However, Fitzgerald ignores the fact that the majority of Irish people consider an unborn child to be a human, and, therefore, an abortion amounts to the killing of that person, which most definitely impacts on that third party.
