Why tolerance of abortion is the height of economic folly

I REFER to your report and editorial of January 3 about the most recent abortion funded in England by the Irish State.

We don’t know the details of the case because the State is unwilling to release them, though it again has implicated every Irish citizen in judicial murder.

Your editorial referred to the ‘X’ case ruling allowing abortion in exceptional circumstances. That ruling, in fact, allows widespread abortion with no time limit. It is impossible in the long run to confine direct abortion to exceptional circumstances.
