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.

Well, that is the first and probably only time I will see "barbarous" used in reference to Canada. 

And of course these laws are disgusting.  TNF has it right.  See his post above.

What about with regards to hockey? Wink

Getting one's aggression out through a sport as fun and challenging as hockey is hardly barbarous!

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.
