The right to abortion isn't a simple 'rights issue', just like gay rights etc, because in the case of abortion, TWO people's rights are at issue - those of the mother and those of the yet unborn child.

Ireland is supposed to be the original resource of Catholosism, this is bullshit that the original source is going against the rules it set

[YouKnowWhereThisEnds]

Northern Ireland has a protestant majority.

Your comment was incorrect and pointless.

[bacabu30]

@KatieMc174 Northern Ireland has a slight Protestant majority (Presbyterians). Some of these are fundamental Christians and this has helped to keep abortion very restricted in Northern Ireland. The Catholic Church there would also have had some influence too. You're thinking of the Republic of Ireland, which has a huge Catholic majority.

I think this is good idea, I'm so glad I live in England where its legal because if I ever had to make such a decision I would want the freedom to do so.

Abortion is murder, Ireland is christian

[kittykat19892007]

Abortion is not murder, I'm of Irish decent and Christened catholic however my views are more agnostic. I believe abortion is a termination of pregnancy not murder.

I'm with you.

I'm also Irish, and was raised in a Catholic family.

I used to be anti-abortion rights like my parents, until one day I sat down and honestly asked myself what I would do if I was raped and became pregnant.

I knew emmediatly that I would get the RU-487 pill as soon as I knew that I was pregnant, and just purge the parasite from my system like urine.

At that stage, it's smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

@SinnFein4ever If I were raped, I wouldn't murder my baby that I was expecting. It was never the baby's fault, who is another and separate human being. But Sinn Fein knows a lot about murder anyway! LOL (And I'm a nationalist but hate IRA scum).

Interesting that the only thing that unites ALL the political parties in Northern Ireland is opposition to the extension of the Abortion Act. Gerry Adams, Peter Robinson, Mark Durkan and Reg Empey all signed a letter opposing the extension. Let the Northern Ireland Assembly decide the issue.
