I was surprised to read today that a Woman in Belfast has been sentenced to 3 months in prison for the crime of having an abortion (apparently she was too poor to travel to England to get it done perfectly legally). I would argue that such antiquated laws have no place in the UK, even in the more religiously soaked back-waters. Either you're on the bus or you aren't; I vote we should have a referendum to decide if we want Northern Ireland to remain in the Union, with laws like this I would anticipate at least half the UK population SAYS NO!
