Guavanaut posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988%E2%80%9394_British_broadcasting_voice_restrictions I thought it sounded like a joke but abortion politics make zero sense to me so the bit of my brain that would usually decide whether a thing is serious or not just gave up.

Different NHS regions have funding agreements between themselves to pay for care that is specialized in a different region (Great Ormond Street say). Unfortunately for the women of NI that doesn't allow for abortion, because NI politics. Abortion law in the rest of the UK is actually, on paper, really quite restrictive compared to many other European countries, but in practice the law is very loosely interpreted.

I wonder if abortion is another one of those issues where there's a massive disconnect between the public and MPs - like same-sex marriage was. I can see that there're some rather biased* polls out there - is anyone aware of some well-worded polls that look at general attitudes towards abortion? * - I'm being extraordinaliy generous, here

This suicide attempt was clearly Jeremy Corbyn's fault thank you for posting this gif so we can can all see how terrible he is. Seriously though why did Shane do this he's already an independent millionaire and he owes nothing to Vince. I hate this gif because it depresses me immensely as it shows an old man almost killing himself for a lovely, carny industry and gaining nothing from his labour/suicide. Edit: kustomkarkommando posted:Pro babby death Sorry but as I'm sure you know the current SF position on abortion is a recent occurrence, when Stormont finally sat in I think 2007, correct if I'm wrong, they agreed to allow water charges in the North as long as the UK didn't try to get NI to have the same abortion laws as Britain.

I guess that the more private profits from international exploitation which are squirreled away without improving the UK, the less the general publics welfare relies on it meaning that fears of losing London as a money generating pit for the rest of the country to function are reduced and we can start guillotining them with popular support.
