I dislike trolls, issues need discussing and they are being discussed. The times of expecting
women who refuse to accept the jaundiced view of issues such as the abuses mentioned in
the above post (OP) are over. Of course it would seem both cheap and convenient to hide everything
under a blanket of "Thou shalt not...".
The issues are discussed on this site : Choice Ireland | A web site of pro-choice activists in Ireland

You don't seem to know what the law is. Under the Constitution and the Regulation of Information (Services Outside the State for Termination of Pregnancies) Act 1995, it is legal for a woman to obtain an abortion abroad and it is legal for information to be provided on how to do so.Originally Posted by femmefatale
Actually, they were condemned by all TDs at the Oireachtas commitee hearing - including those present from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
I'm aware of what you state. I still think that in a country were abortion is not legitimate, it seems strange to identify anti-abortion groups as 'rogue' and abortion-information-providing groups as acceptable.
you may respond to the OP or you may troll the thread FF, it's immaterial to me.
I personally think you should address your weakness for trolling and taking matters
away from the issues which are discussed here and in the OP :
'Rogue' pregnancy agencies criticised | Choice Ireland
How exactly am I trolling? Can only those who are pro-choice comment on this thread? Sounds like censorship to me, Dot. My questions are legitimate and do pertain to the OP.
Abortion is permitted under the constitution, albeit in very limited circumstances.
"We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." - The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1
RE: the OP, yes it's inappropriate for state funded services to give advice on how to evade Irish law (which is essentially what you do when you go to the UK for termination), just as it was innappropriate when AIB and others helped Irish people evade tax with offshore accounts, or if the state drugs advice board gave me advice on where to go in Holland to get the best gear.
Similarly though, state funded boards who don't offer such advice can't describe themselves as neutral, offering all the information or all the options.
The abortion-information-providers are acting within a statutory framework which was set out by the 1995 Act and the Crisis Pregnancy Agency orders. The rogue agencies are acting outside this statutory framework. Pretty simple really.
Non-'rogue' Pregnancy Counselling Services provide information on the procurement of terminations which could not take place legally and legitimately in Ireland. It's a rather strange state of affairs. It's a bit like having travel agencies who can give advice to those who want to engage in sex tourism abroad.
