How can you prove that thoughts inside your head exist? You can't. This poor poor woman was forced to remain pregnant.

mmolly2013 - have you any idea of the cost of the travel to England, as well as the emotional distress the whole thing would cause?

Mmolly2013, do you realise how astoundingly expensive it is for women to travel to the UK for abortions from Ireland? There's time off, travel, hotels for at least 3 days even before you factor in the actual procedure. With the Irish economy being a bit crap, swanning off to the UK is often well out of most women's reach, no matter how much they want it.

Its not always that simple mMolly. The poor woman was suicidal and distressed. In a week where social media is full of Robin Williams suicide and urges to talk to someone, this woman talked and was dismissed.

That sounds terrible but at the same time could she not have travelled to England for an abortion if she wAnted it that much.

The thought of being forced to remain pregnant against my will is one of the most distressing things I can imagine.
How absolutely awful for her. Angry
