When guilt is a fact, not a judgment

ALEX MARSHALL (Irish Examiner letters, September 5) makes a number of remarks to which I feel compelled to respond.

When guilt is a fact, not a judgment

My remarks about the guilt felt by women who have had abortions (Irish Examiner letters, September 5) are based on my experience in that I have never met a woman who had this procedure who didn’t experience these feelings afterwards. I say it as a matter of fact, not as a matter of judgement.

Mr Marshall then introduces the concept of ‘sin’ to paint me as a street-corner moralist who points the finger at women. While this is insulting, it does nothing to further the discussion.
