Abortion and the law

Sir, – Laura Harmon of the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) co-signed a letter (November 3rd) calling on the trade union movement to lobby for the repeal of the eighth amendment of the Constitution. In the interest of "representing all students" and being "respectful of the differing views within its membership" as required by its own constitution, the USI should make it clear that for many students in Ireland this issue isn't so black and white. – Yours, etc,

ADAM HOBSON,
