Your 17 year old daughter comes home one evening & tells you shes pregnant. Sheâs a good girl who has made a mistake. She hasnât the ambition to be a mother, wants to go on with her school life or college and simply doesnât want a child. Again, the boy on the other side feels the same.
Would you feel right telling her A, she must board a flight to the UK for an abortion or B, she must go ahead with the pregnancy?
Essentially, my point here is CHOICE is what i would be voting for here.
Hopefully it would during NFL season so I could bring her to a game in London after the abortion. If not Iâd tip up to Liverpool and get a game in there instead.
Iâd expect the missus to step in there and handle all that sort of thing.
Itâd never be spoken of again, and after a few pints, Iâd have convinced myself it was a bad dream and look forward to my present from their girly trip to London.
327 posts in two days. Iona & the other lot would be delighted with the lever of interest. Have you nothing better to talk about than continue this tired and boring argument?
This seems fairly cynical by the government to me. Looks like theyâre hiding behind the Citizensâ Assembly and subsequent Oireachtas Committee work to avoid having a referendum in a reasonable timeframe:
Doesnât matter. The citizens assembly donât have to get back to the government for another six months. By the time they get round to it, it will be time for another budget. Enda wants this nicely parcelled and left on Michael Martins desk after the next election.
