Freedom of choice

HAVING just told the area's Green candidate in the forthcoming local elections of my disgust with that group's support for the availability of abortion, it came as no great surprise to read of their plans to try to outlaw fur farming in Ireland (Irish Examiner, February 27).

It is hard to comprehend the logic behind giving support to a woman's right to an abortion in spite of the consequences for her unborn child, while simultaneously opposing the same woman's right to choose to wear a fur garment because of the consequences for an animal.

Perhaps it is time for abortion opponents to face reality and campaign for the unborn child to be upgraded to animal status.
