    We stand in most places really. Out views don't really influence where we stand, unless it's a church or something, but even then we make exceptions.

    Also, IBTL.

    You won't get any consensus on this. The only thing that generally "binds" Atheists together is the lack of a belief in deities.

    Their views on pretty much everything else will be widespread.

    No 'abortion should be mandatory' option? Some people are so narrow minded.

    I voted YES but you really need to define "abortion" or give more options.

    I'm for early term abortion but not late term abortion.

    Should be available for sure, having to travel over seas only puts more stress on someone, it's a hard enough thing to go through as it is. It's not right.

    I don't think an abortion should be allowed when the phoetus reaches a certain stage of development.

    Abortion is already allowed in Ireland if the mothers life is at risk. ( Ectopic pregnancy ..).

    Its not termed as an abortion, the aim is not to abort the child but to treat the mother or save her life and in the process the pregnancy is terminated.

    rantyface - this has been debated at length here before.
    If someone can see a reason to do so again (and give myself and Robindch a pain in the head) then PM me as to why.

    Between them the threads below have over 1,000 replies, and the first in the list even has a poll. :)
