How could abortion ever be called a human right?

I NOTE that the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has stated that it ‘“will act in whatever capacity is available to it to support women and girls to vindicate their rights” in relation to abortion.

How ironic that equality is mentioned when, in fact, there is no equality for the baby about to be killed through abortion, and, to compound matters, 50pc of these babies will be girls. We really have come to a right pass when abortion can be described as a human right when it results in the death of a human baby.

With the censorship which was present during the abortion referendum campaign, surely the Irish Independent is not going to add to this by curtailing our opinions through its reduced letters page? Mary Stewart
