Abortion legislation concerns
Senator Mullen argues that proposed legislation on constitutional protection for the unborn lacks a clear mandate and asks that the Government not proceed toward a more liberal regime.
-----to activate a controversial interpretation of our constitutional protection for the unborn. It is no exaggeration to say that the Irish people have never mandated that controversial decision, however people might pretend otherwise.
Comment on this
Does the Leader agree with me on what journalist Stephen Collins raised today? Mr. Collins wrote "Whether it is the restrictive piece of legislation the Taoiseach and his Ministers insist, or whether it will allow for a more liberal abortion regime, only time will tell". Does the Leader agree that it is too serious a question to leave to time and that we should not be going down this road at all?
