Old anti-abortion lines won’t work anymore

NOW it’s the Northern Irish women who have to tell their stories.

As if they somehow were different. As if we don’t already know that, without abortion rights, women suffer. Families suffer.

Sticking their heads in the sand and refusing to acknowledge the reality we live in didn’t work out very well for the No side in the Irish referendum.

Politicians in the north might be wise to choose a different approach.
