Letter to the Editor: Columnist’s advice on abortion inappropriate

Your columnist Louise O’Neill offered advice (‘Dear Louise’ section of Irish Examiner January 3) to a woman who anonymously shared her story of ‘sadness and regret’ after an abortion that took place six months ago.

As someone who has been through abortion and regretted it, I was interested to see how the difficult question would be answered. I imagine I am not alone in thinking the advice given to the woman who was genuinely seeking help was wholly inappropriate.
