Take responsibility for your actions

I’d like to refer to Louise O’Neill’s use of language in attempting to deny the humanity of unborn babies when she uses the phrase “clump of cells” in her Weekend column of February 6.

She might like to know there are four “clumps of cells” living in my house; that is my family, as well as a canine out the back garden. The sense I got from Ms O’Neill’s column is that it’s really about taking responsibility for one’s actions. Such a lack of responsibility can result in unplanned pregnancy, as well as STDs and broken relationships. Why should a baby be killed for that?

Eliminate the crisis, not the child.
