this was the norm everywhere. If it isn't, it should be. The HSE in Ireland have ethics committee's here too. We don't know yet were they consulted, and if so what advise did they give. I used to work for a company in which the general manager never once in his 30+ years there made a decision. He would make others under him make any decisions that had to be made and if they were wrong then blame them and if they were right he would take the praise. Simple moral to this story. If you never make a decision, you'll never make a wrong decision! The Indian christian priest sounded more radical than the irish catholic lady in the debate today on primetime. Indian Christians are knobs of the highest order. Majority of them refuse to marry outside their religion, carry out conversions for cash, are actively lobbying Govt for law provisions guided by Bible. One would expect christian movement here to be more enlightened than other religions but they are even more backward. That's actully fecking disgraceful. I can't believe how outdated the Irish legislation is ffs. Surely if it causes the pregnant woman any significant discomfort both mentally/physically then there should atleast be some grounds where it can be looked at. Common sense, isn't it? Indian Christians are knobs of the highest order. Majority of them refuse to marry outside their religion, carry out conversions for cash, are actively lobbying Govt for law provisions guided by Bible.
