Now this is why I spend a lot of my time supporting Quine Online, this is the kind of mail I love:

"Irish abortion law change rejected. Irish voters have narrowly rejected an amendment to clarify the country's strict abortion laws. The result dealt a significant defeat to Mr Ahern's coalition government and the Catholic Church, which had backed the amendment". [ITN Online]

It's fairly depressing that even in this "day and age" we're still having to fight to defend pretty basic rights for things like abortion. I'm not in favour of abortion but I find it barbaric that laws prevent  or make it extremely difficult for other women to have them in their own country. It's so sad the number of desperate Irish women who come to the UK to have abortions.
