Parents should be able to choose whether abortion is right for them

Victoria White wrote that “creating categories of abortable babies...does nothing to question our baby-killing social and economic values”. (Irish Examiner, January 7).

I’m rather nonplussed at this concluding line of a most peculiar article. White seems to contradict her sentiments of “the only arbiter as to whether a pregnancy should continue or not should be the woman herself”. If my interpretation is incorrect, White has not helped herself by not establishing a more concise viewpoint.

I am unaware as to whether she would support abortion in some cases.
