    I'm not saying we should be proud of it. Just because with you disagree with a choice someone makes it doesnt take away the fact they have the right to make that choice. I'm not pro-abortion I'm pro-choice.

    Baloney. Pro choice is pro abortion. Choose.

    4 pages and not one mention of Jedward? Honestly?

    On a more serious note- unavailability of (circumstantial at the least) abortion or gay marriage, that we made the 'progression' from being governed and mistreated by the church, to allowing a rich, corporate mafia cartel do as they pleased with the Country, under the banner of, what was it, 'laissez-faire economics'. That the PDs ever won a single fúcking seat in the Dáil, that nobody listened when people were crying out that they were building foundations on fúcking quicksand, and that anyone who criticised or questioned the way they were running the Country was labelled a wreck-the-buzz.

    Can I ask, are you both men?

    What if you were raped and fell pregnant?? I know plenty of women do keep these children but what if they were so traumatised they just couldnt do it?

    What if the child was a result of incestual abuse?

    What if you're told your child was gonna be born a vegetable? Your number one responsibility to your children is to keep them out of harms way.

    What if you're told that YOUR safety could be comprimised during pregnancy? What good would I be to a child of I was in a box in the ground.

    Nothing's been done yet. It's all in his little brain planning stage and it all points to the same thing: The middle American will shoulder all the burden for his lazy welfare followers.

    The lukewarm response to my amusing Tyson Gay thread will probably cause many to wonder about the sense of humour of those who currently inhabit the earth.
    Apart from that, general disbelief at the preposterous hubris of seriously using the term 'civilisation' in relation to ourselves.

    I think the way the law is currently should remain.

    After watching Rwanda people swore never again would massacres be allowed without swift intervention.

    And the world sits back and watches Darfur. :(
    No, not realy an Irish issue though you could say Ireland held the EU presidency when it was starting. I don't remember any big efforts at the time to sort out intervention.

    In fact, a senior UN offical was labelled a whistle blower and lost their position for going to the media on it.

    For shame.

    As said, tens of thousands were hopping mad and signing petitions over a football player handing a football though, now there's a real issue worth fighting for....

    I am a woman. And in every single one of these instances I would still keep the human being inside of me. Why? Cause I'm a woman. It's my nature.

    yes sarah i am a man and jesus yes of course in all them cases abortion would definatly prevent further suffering. Were i have a problem with it is adults who have abortions over and over again when they fail to take precations, and even worse is men who fail to take responsiblity for their actions and dont contribute to the childs upbringing. I ddo believe in choice however there is some cases were abortion is clearly clearly wrong (in my mind anyway)

    I'm also a woman, and there is not a chance in hell I would continue the pregnancy in any of those cases. Don't generalise.

    Women are also 6 times more likely to murder by poison.

    You'd be willing to put a child through a horrible life because it's 'your nature'. Technically they're not a 'person' until 12 weeks.

    My nature is to do what's best for my child.

    Why does the child get no choice... none of those things are the childs fault.

    When we develop a microscope capable of asking complex questions and receiving answers from a a pile of cells, that maybe an option.
