Find the expat forums for the cities/countries you're interested in - for example, in Germany you would go on to toytowngermany.com. Best of luck with your research!

I'm sorry, I genuinely thought you were ignorant and sought to educate you. I didn't detect anything funny in your post, so I missed that it was a joke. Never mind, carry on!

Well, that might be because they've been really uncommon for the past 30 years or so, and they were a thing in Northern Ireland, which is a different country. American Catholics provide the majority of the funding for Irish pro-life groups, which is why their ad campaigns are so slick. They even give away free ipads…

There are a number of contributing factors. The people in power are old white Catholic dudes, the majority of young people aged 20-35 have emigrated in the last few years, the majority of voters are old and conservative. Even so, over 80% of people think birth control, divorce, pre-marital sex, marriage equality and…

Asylum seekers can't travel outside the country where they are seeking asylum.

This is true, the majority of the funding for pro-life organisations in Ireland comes from the US.

Did you read it? She's a recent immigrant and doesn't have the right to travel.

True.

Visiting is fine - education and general health care is far superior to most of the rest of the developed world - just know if you want an abortion, you'll be getting a flight to Liverpool. It was a great country to grow up in (thanks for the free BA and MSc!) but I won't be living there again.

Yes. Tell them that legalising abortion is associated with lower abortion rates. Now, do your Catholic friends want less abortion, or to vilify women who get abortions?

No no no, first she was raped, then she was ignored by the authorities when she requested an abortion, then she was violated with a feeding tube, then she was violated by a forced C section. I'm counting at least four counts of violation right here.

The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act was designed to allow women with serious physical and mental issues ... the option of obtaining a legal abortion.

I'm pretty sure even if you DID analyse Microsoft's corporate mail server, you wouldn't come to the conclusion that people like Windows 8.

So, pics of the girls, quotes from the boys. Gotcha.

Oh, fuck that. As women we minimise our own needs, say they're not important, tell ourselves we're silly for wanting such trivial things. This is something I realised within the last few months, which is why I'm stating it so strongly - I'm not exactly saying "fuck that" to you! We need to own our needs and we need to…

Sounds awesome. May things keep aligning for you, and may your trip to Europe, your move to Cairns and your relationship with your cat be everything you wish for!

I can't imagine your pain, I'm very sorry for your loss. I would like to offer you an internet hug and an ear to listen, if it's not too late at night/ early in the morning for you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Moving away from the people you love is so hard, and it's even harder when you're the "trailing spouse", without a job to distract you. I moved 1000km following a boyfriend and the social isolation was awful. If I could go back and do it again, I would join clubs and meet people or do some…

Don't be sorry! It sounds like an important realisation, that affection is really important to you but you've been pretending to yourself that it's not. I think a lot of women do this, we rationalise away bad behaviour or the absence of good behaviour in order to keep ourselves "happy" in the relationship. He sounds…

Where are you moving to? That is so exciting!
