The Irish Medical Organisation has rejected a motion supporting regulation of abortion in line with the X Case following a heated and emotive debate.

The motion was defeated by 42 votes to 32 at the IMO’s annual conference.

The AGM has also rejected abortion in the case of victims of rape or incest who become pregnant.

Doctors also rejected a call for legislation for abortion in the case of a woman with a non-viable foetal abnormality.

Meanwhile, someone’s happy:

 

“Holding the line”.

Really?

Just wanted to let you know about the launch of a new Marriage Equality campaign called “Do Me A Favour”. We’re asking anyone who believes in and supports marriage equality for LGBT people in Ireland to take 3 minutes of their time to watch our new video “Yes To Love” (*above) and join our campaign (below).

moon1 mercury2mrs3venus0neptune4uranus5saturn6jupiter7Artist, writer and space nut Ron Miller imagines what the night sky might look like were the moon to be replaced by various planets of the solar system.

Consider the rules of physics temporarily suspended, whereby all planets retain their current atmospheric conditions and don’t tear us asunder with their immense gravitational fields, etc.

Above (starring as ‘the moon’): the moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter.

What if we had a planet instead of a moon? (Ron Miller, io9)
