I agree with what Sabina Higgins said, but she shouldn’t have said it

Sabina Higgins remarks in Trinity are not the only ones made by the first couple on the thorny issue of abortion, writes Alison O’Connor.

I’M AN admirer of Sabina Higgins. As her husband Michael D’s presidency has progressed that admiration has grown. I’d long been a political fan of him, but knew nothing about her until the presidential campaign.

She has a wonderful bearing and adds gravitas to the role of first spouse. Her experience as an actress stands her in good stead, because she is constantly on public view and that must seem interminable.
