[QUOTE="Jessisbad, post: 3272533, member: 127878"] For me, as a single, 33 yo man with no children so far, it comes down to "responsible society", and I believe it's just irresponsible to allow abortion on demand. That said I certainly believe there are situations where abortion is not only warranted but should be allowed, either by sought permission or by way of legislation. The aforementioned rape or incest for example. And I believe that whatever the stance of a country is on abortion it must be put into law (non-constitutional preferably). Everyone in Ireland, whatever camp they are in, is ashamed over what happened to Savita Halappanavar, and it is a shame that we will be wearing around our necks for a long time to come. For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22185690 There are a lot of other issues involved in the Savita case but the medical professionals should have been protected by legislation to terminate the pregnancy if they had decided to do so.
