In our culture, there are conventions on the rights of people with disabilities. Ireland has far more to do in that regard and many are concerned enough is not being done. However, disability is here being presented as a ground for abortion. Clearly, such people must be second-class citizens. Does it not make a nonsense of having a convention on the rights of those with disabilities if disability is a special ground for abortion in the witness's country and many others?
