I wrote this piece for the National Post about the ongoing case of abortion denied in Ireland.
The tragic death of Savita Halappanavar, the Indian woman living in Ireland who miscarried at 17 weeks and then subsequently died herself, has brought with it a storm of protest. People across the globe are clamouring for the relaxation of Ireland’s strict abortion laws. “Are you willing to force a woman to endure days of agony, simply because her fetus is technically alive?” asked National Post columnist Chris Selley.
The question is whether pro-lifers who desire strict abortion laws have blood on their hands. For those of us who call ourselves pro-life, responding to this question is both reasonable and necessary.

This is a very well-written piece. I am so glad someone is voicing the turbulent feelings I have. On the negative side, some of the comments below the article incapacitate me with anger!
Yes, good article, and admirably self-restrained.
Have to vent, though: does anyone else think that “her blood is on your hands” is some of the least credible wording that pro-choicers, of all people, could pick for an accusation which they want to levy against someone else?
