this is great stuff, the government of the last Daíl cynically brought the issue of abortion to the public forum, failed to win over the voters to retract from progess made ie: the x-case. then defeated silently retreated on the issue. this is an important debate that should be on the public forum for the right reasons. but i can't make it to dublin, so how do i get involved with alliance for choice.
