| Message | Anna Strauss and Helene Eisenstein are entitled to their personal opinions on abortion, but they are wrong and misguided, in my view, to try to use the law as an instrument for criminalising abortion. Yes, there are moral issues involved with abortion, but this is an area of life which should be kept as a private moral issue rather than a public one. This is by far the majority view of the Dorvish people. Anton Weinreich General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
