In war scenes we see dead children being cradled by grieving mothers and fathers.The architects of this carnage shrug and tell us it is unavoidable collateral damage. Anne Frank in her diary reminded us that its not just the world leaders who wage war.No all of us can do it at a personal level to our neighbour.If we want a violent solution to every crisis well then thats the world we choose to live in.But lets not kid ourseleves that some are more equal than others when we are the ones tempted to take life.

Apart from that I'm sure she's as lovely as either Mary. But she won't be picking curtains for Aras an Uachtaráin any time this century because she's too goddam scary. People cower below her election posters, worried that she probably has lasers in her eyes or could kill a man with a poisoned blow-dart from 200M away through thick jungle. Either that or snap his neck between her thighs. With all due respect to everyone, in all fairness and other sundry beginnings, there are two major reasons why Ivana Bacik will never be president:

Apart from that I’m sure she’s as lovely as either Mary. But she won’t be picking curtains for Aras an Uachtaráin any time this century because she’s too goddam scary.

So the UK figures don't tell the whole story. I'm dead-set against abortion myself, and I think that we should continue to keep the ban here. Pregnant women are under enough stress without feminist activists and abortion doctors trying to steer them towards this appalling act of violence by a mother gainst her own child. (Having said that, I've <a href="http://freestater.blogspot.com/2005/08/sliming-ivana-bacik.html" rel="nofollow">little time</a> for personalised attacks on Bacik and others) In fairness, I heard from a Dutch acquaintance of mine the other month that she was asked directions on the street in Amsterdam by an Irish girl looking for a particular abortion clinic.
