Same here, this quote describes my religious leanings as a lapsed Catholic/ agnostic!

Love it!

Thank you for your work, it's good to see people who selflessly give up their time to allow women to have a choice... I certainly will donate to your group when I get my next wage packet!

No, unfortunately she does have actual fans, my younger sister being one... She's so fond of the Kardashians that she plan to name children after them... I wonder where did I go so wrong in influencing her...

is it bad that what I'm amazed by is that your politicians actually work during the Christmas hols? Our lovely Irish politicians take quite a bit of time off during Christmas and summer... Still though I can't believe after forty years you still have your reproductive rights infringed on, I guess we all have to keep…

That is seriously fucked up, it's depressing to see this type of thing still happening in this day and age! I am seriously impressed by her response, I thought she handled it brilliantly against that ignorant racist.

Your story was wonderful, it just goes to show that it doesn't matter what type of family you're brought up in, as long as they have your back. I was struck by how normal your description of your family was, just like any normal rambunctious family!

Well, I remember learning about Grainne in primary school, but I know what you mean, it is awful how women were written out of history. I study history and one of my mentors in my local history society always said that women were written out of history, so it is now our duty to put them back in. She always focussed on…

Ha, I was gonna mention her, she was brilliant! When she met Queen Elizabeth, they communicated in Latin, since Grainne could not speak English and Queen Elizabeth could not speak Irish. Grainne also insulted her by throwing a hankerchief in the fire after using it, because in Irish culture it was inappropriate to…

I can't wait to get my medical card, damn backlog in applications, can't imagine paying 80 dollars for them! I think even without the medical card they're only €20 euro, what is up with american pricing? I know what you mean, people still seem to have the view that Ireland is still white thatched cottages and women…

I must check it out, it sounds very interesting. I think for a lot of religions, it suits them to stick to their antiquated ideas; it means that they retain power over people. But I definitely agree that education and modern communication are improving things. Its amazing in Ireland that while we still have a long way…

People believing that you"choose to be gay" confuse me... because of course many of us would choose to be second class citizens, and invite bigotry and abuse on ourselves... Nah, scientific evidence doesn't work, speaking from experience! I remember my very Catholic mother saying that fossils were planted by the…

I've heard that theory also, but in real life I've never seen it in practice! A lot of gay fellas I know are the oldest, or in the middle of their family, but that is just anecdotal evidence. And I applaud your choice in salt and vinegar crisps, I could go for a bag of tayto myself...

Very true. I think the moment when I turned away from Catholicism occurred when I was reading the Bible and saw that the church had more in common with the Pharisees than Jesus. Nothing annoys me more than when Christians claim to be a follower of Jesus then turn around and be completely hateful to those that don't…

RTÉ's programme Prime Time, a politics show, had a segment on Savita's death and the issue of abortion tonight, it was an absolute disgrace that the panel consisted of two medical representatives, an anti-choice campaigner and a politician. No one from the pro-choice perspective was included. It is an awful shame that…

Oh I must check that out, probably makes for interesting if horrifying reading! The scary thing I find is when boys who are only around 9 or 10 are calling her a cunt and all sorts, its terrifying to see misogyny ingrained in boys so young...

This is not quite the same, but speaking from personal experience; my friend, who I lived with for two years, loves to play xbox games online. The sheer amount of abuse she gets from random men just for having the audacity to play call of duty and halo is astounding. Having heard some of it over the headset, I…

That's very true, I can't believe she essentially withdrew from the Socialist party for him, Mick Wallace is a character I can't stand! I honestly wondered about that, unless she is being forced to keep quiet due to her involvement in the Labour Party. She does pop up in this video; it's a very thought provoking video…

Love shopping penguin, look up the song, it is immensely catchy...I had people terrorised for a whole year with it!

Very true, it's same as when they are spouting about how the current government are ballsing things up, economy wise. Yet the exact same policies would have been implemented by Fianna Fáil if they were still in power... Hypocrisy is alive and well in the Dáil... I do like Clare Daly, she is very fervent about women's…
