Bravery personified

A profound and exceptionally brave speech by Lucinda Creighton on the abortion bill in Ireland:

Compassionate, clinical care is what is needed and the government should put all possible resources into providing this for young, vulnerable women. Abortion solves nothing.

I know a number of women who had abortions and deeply regretted it. I genuinely do not know any woman who has had a baby and regretted it. No matter the circumstances, the initial stress, anxiety fear, stigma or concern, we must support women in their hour of need. That is simply our moral and constitutional duty.

Lucinda Creighton is Ireland’s Minister of State for European Affairs.
