Why we need a new abortion referendum

I READ with dismay your solution to the abortion controversy (Irish Examiner, January 3).

Having acknowledged that he pro-life group would win a referendum by 47% to 36%, you still called on the Government to legislate for abortion in line with the ‘X’ case.

So much for the voice of the people. It is no surprise that more of those aged over 35 are pro-life as they have children and recognise the miracle and dependence of the infant, born and unborn.
