I don't believe I have the right to tell you what to do, and that abortion isn't justified in some circumstances. I come from Ireland where we have had a very contentious debate on abortion for many years, with several referenda to change (and rechange) our constitution on the topic; abortion was constitutionally illegal in Ireland and still, more or less, is from a legislative point of view. I'm reminded of one of the placards the Pro-Life campaigners used to carry. Get your rosaries off my ovaries.

So, whilst I support the women's right to choose I just personally don't know if I could go through with it, or feel comfortable with a child of mine being aborted.

See? It's possible to hold a peronsal moral stand, admit it is not perfect or written in stone and could change in certain personal circumstances, AND support the other side of the argument on principle; ie, I'm pro-choice, but anti-abortion.

Why can't we all get along like this sometimes?!

Mr Mephisto,

~That~ was exceptionally well said.
