Abortion update.
After two days in court the HSC has performed a U-turn.
From to days Independent
"HEALTH chiefs yesterday performed a dramatic u-turn, revealing that they would not stand in the way of a teenage girl who wants to go to England for an abortion.
Even though they moved quickly to stop the 17-year-old last month, lawyers told the High Court they were now prepared to let her travel under certain conditions.
No indication was given if and when the teenager, known only as Miss D, will apply to leave.
In the strongest signal yet that the D case could be resolved without a repeat of the public tumult that followed in the wake of the X case abortion saga, lawyers for the Health Services Executive agreed it would be in the best interests of the girl to travel to England if she received district court approval to do so.
Miss D, the 17-year old whose baby is suffering from the fatal brain condition anencephaly, was not present in court for day two of the High Court action as she is unwell.
In her absence, the HSE said it would be willing to make an application to the district court to allow Miss D to travel.
It said it would agree that travel for the purpose of a termination would be in her best interests if a district court judge was satisfied the girl had considered her decision carefully, preferably after counselling."
Okay, so they decided to be humane, next question is why are we still exporting our problems to the UK?

"next question is why are we still exporting our problems to the UK?"
Because then you don't have to deal with the real issue.... Also known as the "Why we invaded Iraq instead of Saudi Arabia" problem.
All the problems in my life have been imported from the UK. Count yerselves lucky.
Ah Fat Sparra, the old duck and cover, I see. Very popular.
All my problems are lilac and drive themself to my home, Jagd.
My word I have a monster headache and now the Paramour informs me that I made drunken plans last night to meet a gal in town this very morning. WHY O WHY do I think things are a good idea when I'm three sheets to the wind? WHY?
Keeping abortion illegal allows the state to claim some sort of moral high ground. They don't care that women are financially and psychologically taxed by having to go to the U.K. The policy states in no uncertain terms that they don't care about women's health or basic civil rights.
As for making drunken plans, I would cancel it right away, apologize, and crawl back into bed. Your friend is probably hung over, too.
Hydrate!
Would like to know how much this debacle has cost and will anyone get fired ?
yes a u turn by the high court, but a spanner in the works from the district court - only in her best interests if she recieves their approval to do so, which is not forthcoming today Monday 7th. For me this dabacle is not about abortion right or wrong, but the "in locus parentis" responsibilities of the HSE.
In this instance they have undoubtably breached the boundaries.
typo sorry! should read in loco parentis not in locus parentis -
silly me.
Because men don't get that reproductive issues are complicated.
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get
a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any
plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much
lately it's driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to be
aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries
that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
