- foreign news I saw which grasped this point was ABC
- (World News Sunday). So much for the British understanding
- more about Ireland than the Americans I was about to say
- but then they ruined this by showing Belfast as our

- I heard on the BBC an interview with a man from the "Cork Examiner"
- (I think) making your point that wording is opposed by people from
- both sides of the abortion debate.
