Finally.

Abortion is still illegal in the Republic, and women from there who want an abortion have to travel to England or Wales. I'm pleased Northern Ireland has taken this step, though I worry about the people who work in the clinic and those who will utilise it.

I hope Padraig is looking after things there. This is a step in the right direction.

He says, knowing that the church would murder him for it and this will come back to bite him in the ass. The Church always did hate it when I stood up for the rights of women. As if it was some kind of foreign concept. Absolutely ridiculous.

	Encouraging women to make their own decisions about marriage and their future? What a strange and dangerous idea, Saint Patrick! You bet your ginger arse I'm looking out for them. Something a few of the members of the Oireachtas have given me trouble about. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Remember that one bishop who tried to set us on fire because the woman who was going to marry his son changed her mind and followed us instead? Oh dear. Politics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I do remember because he singed our arse. Poor man's son couldn't enslave the woman he wanted, boo hoo. I'm working with the Assembly in the hopes that this will start a trend. I'll try the Oireachtas later. One step at a time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Man these guys woulda loved Greece back in the day. Women's rights were as much a novel then as they are to some people now. The more things change, etc. ~~Note to self: brain to mouth filter means no, you do not get to tell your best friend his counterpart is kind of hot.~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)
