On the 8th March 2017, Larissa Nolan wrote an impassioned piece for the Irish Times about why she felt the Repeal the 8th March would fail. For many reasons, detailed below, I felt the need to respond. I was disappointed that several publications I approached weren't interested in publishing my piece. Perhaps it was too moderate? This is an extremely heated debate that is gaining momentum, for which I'm glad. But I feel it's important that all voices are heard and that we try and understand as many viewpoints as possible. So with that in mind, here is my open letter to Larissa Nolan and others who feel marginalised by the pro-choice campaign.
