    You all do know that while abortion has technically been decriminalised in NI the Unionist Health Minister has still not commissioned any abortion services.

    Woman in NI still must travel to England for an abortion in the year 2022.

    Is abortion forbidden in the Republic? I have no idea and just curious. I suspect it's probably banned.

    Was legalised a while back.
    Thanks.
    Have the Blairs passed comment as good catholics?

    I personally think it's an appalling decision, and the possible next steps are very worrying .
    Interesting how the religous far right meets the Catholic left on this.
    I’m Catholic but believe in a woman’s right to make her own decision. I don’t think I would be unique in this.

    Bear in mind Biden is Catholic and is fighting for a woman’s right to decide as well. I can’t comment on the Blair’s.

    If we're picking on random catholics, then why not our very own PM.

    I suspect he's only Catholic because the sin/confess/forgiveness thing comes in so useful.

    I was raised Catholic too, and am aware that Biden is a Catholic too.
    PB is also correct i think that the American religious right are WASPs.
    NI Catholics and many UK cCatholics are typically left of centre in the political spectrum.
    I guess I'm trying to highlight that extreme views are not limited to those on the right, even though a number on here wish that was't the case.

    I'm surprised the far right haven't picked up on the fact that sperm are, by some definitions, alive, and banned masturbation.

    Bit awkward to have to ban themselves. W⚓️s
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Absolutely. Can’t argue with that at all. I actually stopped going to mass when asked to sign a petition against gay marriage.

    That’s absolutely of no concern to me and I fundamentally disagree with the church on that and issues around abortion.

    You’re correct that most of the people I went to school with would be left of centre but also socially liberal. Massive oxymoron I suppose.

    Nope, I love them and especially Elizabeth Banks but that conversation just felt like the sort of thing they have all the time down to the cringy sexist comments.

    Difference being one is comedy writing taking the Mick out of those attitudes and the other is, presumably, a genuine comment from someone trying to get elected.

    I feel for the poor guy in the middle trying to keep the debate even loosely tethered to reality.

    No, it's where he writes a book called something like 'My struggle'.

    "I could do research, but the internet lies," she adds. "So if Trump is saying they're a good person, that's all I need to hear."

    What is going on in your head that you look at Trump and think that is somebody I will follow blindly without question?

    "O say can you see, by the dawn's early light...etc"

    but not much else, on a continuous loop?

    Well his fake news message certainly got through to the morons voters he was targetting if people decide research isn't worth it as it will just be lies so better trust good ole Donny instead.

    The FBI called but he was out.

    Next time I hope he will be in when they arrive but out after they leave.

    Aparently the FBI had to pre-warn the ex-president's security detail. Also, the documents they were searching for are so secret they can't be named on the warrant.
