Strange.

Did Hifly create 3 sock accounts?

Despite his views on gay marriage, Hifly's quite strongly pro-choice.

You guys realise literally no-one thinks Irish abortion laws are "generally positive"? Even the pro-life lunatics dislike them.

My view is that they're a heck of a lot better than the laws in my barbarous nation. They may not be ideal, but they're a Western laws that significantly restrict abortion, and for that I am glad.

What would you prefer? I quite like them as is.

Canada has no legal restrictions on abortion currently. I'd love to have something closer to American laws. However, the best I can see happening realistically is something like the UK regime with only late-term abortions banned.

American laws are basically unrestricted as well. UK is more restrictive.

UK restricts procedurally. You have to file for an abortion and make the doctors and hearing officer believe that you should have an abortion and that it is for a non-frivolous reason. The US restricts substantively through time, place and manner that they may be done. i.e. in the UK, you have to file for abortion and the US, you have to prove that you really want one  even though your local government says that you shouldn't and forces you to spend time to prove it and forces the doctor to spend money to prove he really wants to perform it.

I know.  It's disgusting stuff from both the Old and New empire.
