    Having considered the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018, the President has signed the Bill and it has accordingly become law.

        ESBL caused the miscarriage in the first place. To let women miscarry naturally is international practice. An identical case in the UK in the where abortion is available sadly same result. 13 opportunities were missed to diagnose sepsis doctors were sanctioned for negligence.

        There will be no great celebration at this news, no woman wants this to be necessary. There is just enormous relief that young women do not have to travel to a foreign land at a most difficult time in their lives as they choose to do what is right for them.

        ....As they choose to kill their own child for NO reason. That's what you mean. Ohhh, woe, A foreign land. Cut out the melodramatics. Do you think the little baby in the womb will care about geography? #ProlifeWoman

        Of course not. It’s the mother I’m more concerned about. We do not know the circumstances of every woman who has to undergo this. They have their reasons. Judge not lest ye be judged. #Prochoice

        It was all about the ''hard cases'' with you. Are you telling me that 12 women a day are getting pregnant by rape/incest or have discovered a ffa? BULL & you know it. It's all about being inconvenienced. #ProlifeWoman

        Maybe some might feel that way. Personally I’d prefer that babies were born into a welcoming home than have any woman forced to have a baby they don’t want or are not able to care for. Everyone has to act according to their conscience.

        Considered? And now it is permitted for doctors to do what . . . precisely? Justice? Prepared to do what? It seems fair to say that 'the execution of the innocent should be quite excluded from consideration' as Anscombe suggests in 'Modern Moral Philosophy' (1958). Thoughts?

        My immediate thoughts are stick to what you are good at and stay completely away from any association with women’s healthcare. When you offer equal rights to women in the church you might come of age.

        You keep spouting this and yet have not once mentioned how you intend to reverse it.. 64% of Ireland voted to repeal this and the law has finally come into effect. The majority won.. whether you think it is just or not

        The people of Ireland voted to provide a legal and safe abortion service to the woman of Ireland, a choice for them to decide what’s best for their own bodies. There was no lies, no deceit...no dark force! Abortion is not compulsory! Accept the will of the people.
