I was thinking more of external crowdfunding, followed by transition of the village to a temporary planning committee who will implement 12 page arguments about the best form of communism for a small village.

well this is a barrel of laughs

Today in the UK, a woman was sentenced for the crime of an abortion - yet we act outraged at Donald Trump

She desperately tried to save up enough money to travel to England to have an abortion, but wasn’t able to. Her housemates reported her to the police

Today, in the United Kingdom, a woman has been found guilty of having an abortion. It’s a horrifying idea – one which should have been long relegated to the annals of history, but which is sadly still the reality for a woman living in Northern Ireland in 2016.

The 21-year-old woman was found guilty at Belfast High Court today and given a three month sentence, suspended for two years. She was convicted under ancient laws which were passed under Queen Victoria and have sat untouched on Northern Ireland’s statute books for over 150 years.

The abortion ban makes it a criminal offence, carrying a sentence of anything up to life in prison, even if you have been raped or if the foetus is so severely disabled that it has no chance of surviving outside the womb.

The details which the court heard about this woman’s ‘crime’ reveal a heart-breaking nightmare. She was 19 when she experienced an unwanted pregnancy. She desperately tried to save up enough money to travel to England to have an abortion, but wasn’t able to. Left with no other choice and trapped in Northern Ireland, she bought abortion pills online and performed a DIY abortion on herself at home. Her housemates found blood-stained items and foetal remains in a bin and reported her to the police.

I can understand why somebody who considers abortion to be wrong might feel moved to contact the authorities when confronted with such visceral evidence that it had taken place.

Yeah my first thought when reading that article was why the gently caress the housemates shopped her. Did they even ask what happened? Like whether she had a miscarriage or needed a ride to the hospital.

Maybe this is the part that needs changing before trying top down change, although that's easy to say as someone who would not be inconvenienced in the interim. Maybe both need to change.

Or maybe we need to teach people to be better at covering up evidence. :v:

I don't think I'd recognise a foetus in a bin as anything other than fleshy remains and that would set off alarm bells

SF only adopted a position backing legalisation of abortion in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities last year and it was very reactive after it became a big issue down south, SF are still officially an anti abortion party and oppose extending the abortion act to NI - people like Martin McGuinness are very much in the pro-life camp
