I was rather annoyed this morning to hear Gerard Henderson (from the Sydney Institute) on Radion National's AM program arguing that it was shameful how the RU486 debate had become sectarian - mainly anti-catholic and that, because Abbot was exposuing a religious view he shouldn't be villified.
Well, I'm sorry, but if you're going to bring your religious moral values into a political debate - which is what many were doing by making it a debate about Abortion - then you have to expect to be dealt with in the rumble and tumble of politics.
How you can expect to make personal religious claims on an issue and then expect to be somehow treated with kit gloves because you're expressing a religious view is staggering.
No, if you don't want to wear criticism then don't bring your views into the political arena...
