Ireland to allow abortions

[Red Celt]

@red celt: yea, but it's hard to be happy about it when you think about all those women who are poor and cannot afford to leave the country for an abortion . Well, I guess at least now no one has to die for it ...

Exactly. And it pisses me off, so much. Those supposedly "pro-life" (what a misnomer) people who are subjecting young, vulnerable women to the trauma of an unwanted pregnancy. Especially when it's a girl with religious parents who won't offer her the support or guidance (let alone the money) to seek an alternative in the UK.

So. If a woman is raped, a panel of judges (secular or with Catholics?) won't help her unless she can prove that she is suicidal?
