You said you have 'no idea' what women in Ireland with crisis pregnancies would do if they couldn't go 'next door'. Have you thought about that at all? What would your partner, or sister, or mother, or friend, or cousin, or colleague do if she had a crisis pregnancy and couldn't go next door? It's not about 'believing in' something, its about why you think no one should be able to avail of something because you don't think its right.

All my immediate family, male and female are on the same page as me on this so it wouldn't be an issue. I simply said i wouldn't like to see liberal abortion coming in here, but if a majority voted for it obviously would accept the will of the people. Thats not being unreasonable now is it?
lazygal wrote: » Really? Everyone you know has exactly the same views on abortion as you? I'm very prochoice - but I know not everyone in my social circles is, some would be very opposed to the recent legislation. You said you'd vote against a more liberal regime - which, as has been pointed out, would impose your views if your vote meant abortion wasn't available to women. I still await your response to what women in Ireland with crisis pregnancies do when 'next door' isn't an option.

It made me think. You cannot legislate for abortion - they said, you either want it or you don't. At the time I thought they were wrong.....but after being alive for 47 years I have had to re-think things. Nothing is simple. Just because abortion could be an option in Ireland, I don't think people would rush into it? It's like the divorce issue

Galwayguy35 wrote: » Yes i do,
eviltwin wrote: » Well then I have to ask, what are your thoughts? Cause if you would still vote against abortion because you personally don't like the idea knowing you are leaving those women in a terrible position then I have to wonder do you feel bad about that?
Galwayguy35 wrote: » Yes its a horrible situation to be in but I still would never vote for killing an unborn life.
