Wasted space
Revel Barker (December 12) describes the correspondence about abortion as repetitive and annoying to readers. In his opinion, notwithstanding the banging, change in opinion will not materialise.
He states that writers write for their personal gratification, which is a ridiculous suggestion. At least, he acknowledges that, at present, abortion is a dominant subject.
It is surely not a pastime subject and many wish to express their views, whether in favour or, like myself, against. I stand up for what I truly believe.
This newspaper offers space to everyone on many subjects. That readers are annoyed to read about the same subject may be Barker’s mistaken opinion. No one can judge what people are thinking. Luckily, journalism offers an opportunity for dialogue and from discussions there is always something to learn.

On Sunday, olympian swimmer Neil Agius completed his swim across the Malta-Gozo channel in just over two hours.
This challenge was no easy feat, as Agius was also pulling the weight of a person,dressed as Santa Claus, on a paddleboard.
The swimmer departed from Marfa at 9.35am, and arrived at Ħondoq ir-Rummien at 11.36 am, a pace of around 3km/hr.
This challenge aims to raise awareness about obesity. His friend Michael Galea has pledged to lose 10kg if Agius succeeds in pulling him across the channel.
