ASTOUNDED! @wonderwoma40: @DoctorChristian priests on hospital boards can veto a chemo drug as women must use contraception while taking it

Religion should never have a greater say over science. In too many countries religion still has the louder voice. This must change.

Ah Janey. Why did ya have to bring that up again?
Thought we had that swept under the carpet dealt with these matters already.

I think everyone should just calm down and have a quick cup of tea;
Politicians, Priests, Internet nerds, people with rosary beads, hot angry feminists, foetuses,
just calm down and take a break.
we’re not allowed breaks anymore. that’s your fault, trichet.
So would you aggressive atheists rather the world of your leader mr Dawkins? He speaks common sense doesn’t he?
Do you worship strawmen now?
Why?
is that the best you can do?
What’s with the passive aggressive stuff lads? Have ye an actual question?
Nothing you could answer.
You guys depressingly live up to my impression of you. Consistently disappointing.
awww and I really really wanted to impress you.
Now that would have been consistent!
I didn’t know we had a king, I thought we were an autonomous collective.

We have catholic tastes.

Is it not a bit weird that women HAD to use contraception in order to go on the trial- if that was the case. Be better if there had been a choice in the matter for the women involved. Obviously board were not correct to stand between a person and life saving treatment in grounds of their own beliefs.
Standard for medical trials – big pharma don’t want a repeat of the thalidomide shambles (as long as it isn’t in the West of course, fine if anywhere else lalala)
just to point yez to a pretty useful summary that Fintan O’Toole published up earlier today
worth a read imo (like him or not)……

Good article, but not something that you would want the “outside world” to see. It exposes Ireland as a country stuck in the middle ages.
