Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said he cannot strip the four religious orders who owned the Magdalene Laundries of their charitable status.

It follows their refusal to contribute to the Government's multi-million euro redress scheme for survivors of the institutions.

The nuns have offered to help the women in other ways, such as caring for about 100 of them in residential settings.

You could not make this up. They want to 'help' victims of people who suffered while in their care, by offering more care!

all cases are different and should be viewed that way.

So in what circumstances do you think abortion should be used?

Where the life of the mother is in peril.

I think there is a pretty high profile case of this in Galway recently.

I heard that this morning and thought they wouldn't be brazen enough to offer the care in their own premises. Are they not residential homes outside the control of the 4 orders involved?

You are replying to a post from 4 years ago in fairness.

I didn't even notice that.
