Who would have thought that was possible in this country which is supposedly not even in a state of war!

Airbus could scare the crap out of Alabama by threatening to move the Airbus assembly plant out of Alabama to a pro-choice state.

Aren't they mostly pro-choice, leaving out Ireland, I guess. But they're feeling the heat, too, to step into modernity.

Abortion in the Republic of Ireland

Abortion in Ireland is regulated by the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018. Abortion is permitted during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, and later in cases where the pregnant woman's life or health is at risk, or in the cases of a fatal foetal abnormality.

Not that long ago. I remember all of the Irish people living abroad who very publicly returned to Ireland to vote to repeal the ban on abortion that was in their constitution. That repeal passed BIG!

Northern Ireland has the old abortion law (i.e. abortion Nazis) and women are forced to go to England for this medical procedure.

It was going to be repealed handily, even without the people returning to Ireland; the writing was already on the wall.

But BIG is good.

I come humbly asking that you place a wall of protection around American war HERO Travis Jackson. Please keep him safe from all who would evilly choose to harm him, as he escorts women to and from the Abortion clinic in Alabama. I also ask for a wall of protection to be placed around ALL women/young ladies going to and from abortion clinics and their escorts all across this land against all who would also evilly choose to harm them as well. There's an all-out war raging against black males and also against women's freedom's, rights, and reproductive rights as well.

For all of these important and heartfelt things I fervently pray."

Amen & Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
