Just so that you can understand my position in all this. I would love to have more kids but my wife has categorically said no since our youngest (16 next month) was born. If it turned out that my wife was pregnant and decided to have an abortion I would be absolutely devastated (not sure how things would work out, hopefully never happens) but she is fully aware of my feelings on that I would be 100% against it. However that did not stop me from voting a resounding yes as I have seen first hand down the years the turmoil that this has caused girls, women and families. Too many times has a guy got a girl pregnant and it has been left to the girl to deal with the consequences. I am not getting into a discussion about what is right and wrong but we live in a democracy and decisions like this should be allowed to each individual affected

I am personally disappointed that Donegal seems to have voted no, but there are other factors especially older population.

The poster I was responding to is emblematic of that mindset. In other words, it wasn't to be taken seriously.

I doubt you will have that courage. Many women have been put in difficult positions I agree. Many produced the most wonderful children which brought great happiness to their mothers and grandparents lives. Do you still think they should have been aborted?

As for the troglodites at the Iona institute or Mcguirk, Tóibín,Sherlock, Rick Moranis and Co well they don't deserve any. Their whole campaign was based on a lack of sensitivity, scare mongering and lies.The thought of what they must feel like today is frankly delightful. Maybe that makes me immature but **** it, I'll leave the maturity to better people than me. I'm proud as all hell to be Irish today.
