..yeah, I remember watching a documentary years ago about some Irish girls who came over to the UK to abort their pregnancies...their stories and circumstances were quite sad and tragic and to me they seemed to have very good reasons for their decisions, which weren't taken lightly, but they were treated like outcasts....
