This is a test as to whether we can downvote a post that we've replied to. Nothing in this post is relevant to the discussion at hand, and no criticism of DanBC's point is implied by my downvote. He volunteered for this experiment.

There's plenty of pro-choice activism here, but sadly, I believe Ireland still a long way from a civilised, non-hypocritical policy on abortion.

I would love to be proven wrong about that.
