Wednesday evening last, on RTE's Six One news bulletin, the network's Washington Correspondent, Robert Shortt, filmed a report on the recent abortion legislation passed in South Dakota.
To see the report, you must do the following. Go to here:
On the left, there is a drop-down menu titled News Archive. Make sure this is dated 07 June 2006.
Then below the drop-down menu, click the link: Watch the NEWS.
The whole programme is over fifty minutes, but the South Dakota item starts at 35 minutes and last about two and a half minutes, so you'll have to use the scrolling buttons.
Two points: first, at the very end of the piece, in his final piece to camera, Shortt noticeably uses the words "the right to choose", but almost uses the words as if he assumes he is addressing a converted audience.
Second, watch out for the VISA sign on the wall of the abortion clinic.
