Harris’s new low

HEALTH Minister Simon Harris said he wants to ensure that women from Northern Ireland can have abortions in the Republic.

He stated: ‘They can access other health care here so it is appropriate and important that they can also have abortions here instead of having to travel elsewhere.’

Is Harris the only health minister in any European country to be out touting for abortion business?

Trying to encourage people from other jurisdictions to have their abortions here must be a new low for any minister.
