If we take the head in the sand approach then we will end up with bland programming much in the same vein as American television, where the sight of so much as a nipple can cause such controversy.
Obviously we will have to wait until the program is broadcast to see exactly how the topic was covered, with sensitivity of sensationalism. However, just because a topic is controversial doesn`t mean that it cannot have a place on our airwaves. As you say, many people do not agree with abortion. There are also a great many people that have no problem with it.

I'm not saying they
shouldn't show it - although I'd prefer it if they didn't. Just as some people feel they have a right to view this kind of thing, I have the right to call it mindless depravity. You'd better believe the 'off' button will be used in this house.

It's not meant to be patronising, that's not my intention. I'm trying to point out how upsetting this subject can be. I'm not denying his right to post about abortions (neither would I try to) either.

You're entitled to feel that way of course but I'm not going to apologise for anything. As I said I'm not saying it should not be discussed, merely making it clear how unhappy I am with it.
