McGrath of Harlow BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire (134* d) RE: BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire 03 May 18


Sorry if see me as tendentious, Steve. I'm trying to avoid the kind of words that can divert and prevent honest discussion, such as "unborn child". I think that "developing human" is a reasonable term, and so is “continued life". I don’t see why there is any reason to argue for them or against them. It is very hard in this context to find neutral terminology.

I didn’t say "serious inconveniences" because I am fully aware that in a great number of abortions the problems which an unwanted pregnancy involve for the mother are extremely serious. In no way am I minimising them.
