Dear Sings Irish SOngs...
Here is an Irish song for you... I lived in Ireland when both birth control and abortion were banned. Each time I hear about a return to the criminalization of abortion here in the US, I think about the case of a thriteen year old girl, who died alone in the rain, at night, in a roadside grotto shrine to Mary, because she had no options to deal with her unplanned pregnancy. That incident in Mayo, was far to common here as well once. When wieghing the options as bad as they may be, for others, remember, it is they who bear the life long consiquencies, and the choices are eaisier for us to make for another... unwanted pregnancy and abortion will always be a fact of life, criminalised or not, and criminalizing abortion only makes victems of the women involved, and does not "save babies". Let anyone who wants to return to the back room abortions think of their own daughters, because it wont happen in other peoples houses no matter how "christian" you think you family is. It is the nice girls who often get in the worst trouble. I just despare when I see the suport of your point of view by the acts of terror agaisnt doctors, and am sick that our nation has sunk to this low.
