Quality Street!

Not johnnies..
The Dioceses of Down and Connor Curates’ annual trip to Dublin got off to a good start on the 12.35 from Belfast.
If your looking for the Zimos, Nell has dem.
Ah jaysus, women eh, always on some platform or another!
I’ll get me coat…
well done all btw :)
http://www.womenonweb.org . Great site, thankfully someone’s looking after Irish women.
Unconfuse me please.
If a pregnant woman takes a day return to Belfast and then takes a pill which is legal in NI (rather than buy an illegal pill), and stays till she aborts, is she committing a crime in Eire?
Wouldn’t it be logical to…
Ah but!
Of course logic and Churchianity can never exist in the same reality.
There an App for that, basically it uses the GPS on your phone to let you know when
your about to cross the border so you can nip into the jacks & and flush the feto,
just don’t do it at the station.
Actual lol :-D
It’s not legal in NI. The pills can be sent to NI because customs is not as strict.
The Sprogborts Express.
Ohohoho!
*doffs cap*
Mighty work, sorr!
“Like their mothers before them”
If their mothers had done this, surely they (today’s people) wouldn’t be around?
Help us out here! Does Broadsheet want our Mams to abort us or not?
We had feared it was too late. Do you have her phone number?
People never think that they could be on the receiving end of an abortion.
You’re right. It happened to a friend of mine in Holland. I miss that bald tiny-foot bastard.
Alfred is KILLING IT up in here…
That’s what it says on the plaque outside my surgery. Well, I say surgery.
Thing is, an aborted foetus never gets the chance to do anything, least of all make friends. Your gag is poignant.

I had to bit my lip reading those :)
Snigger.
In your case, yes.
Wishing death on someone is not cool.

Double posting is worse
Seconded.

But slashing them up with a samurai blade while dressed head to toe in a black and yellow jump suit would probably be acceptable.
Well yes, obviously there are exceptions.
I think if you check it out it suggests that their mothers went in relation to earlier contraception (condoms) which we were too prehistoric to have here :-( but not anymore:-)

Does anyone know if officialdom (in any capacity more other than Irish Rail ticket inspectors!) was waiting for them? Very proud of them for doing this to highlight the never ending fuckwittery of our laws in this area.
This is all well and good, but the big question on everyone’s lips is how much did they pay for the tickets and do they think it was unreasonable?
Heh!
They’re all ridin!
Repeal something approved by two-thirds of the electorate in the 80s! Because with the amount of socialists elected to the Dail clearly everyone wants to change this constitutional provision!
And when it’s appealed, well, the existing statute will still exist and abortion will still be illegal, but, eh, repeal it anyway!
Eejits.
If you can figure out a way to introduce abortion legislation without repealing the 8th first, I’d love to hear it.
And how is sitting there with one thumb up your arse a better plan?
