Just one "holy roller" at a place I volunteer.

She was also offended when - during a casual discussion of biology - I noted the similarity between humans and other animals. She felt I downplayed how much people are made in the image of God.

yeah and i remember the great comic george carlin was really tough on them. Said that most of them seemingly stop caring about the baby after it's born. Sad if true. Unbelievable.

About abortion.

Everyone I know keeps their views pretty much to themselves and is content to leave things as they are (this is in the UK).

I'm in the UK and abortion comes up all the time

Irish people used to flock to the UK for them because it was illegal there, it was only legalized a few years back

Pro-lifers are horrified and there are dozens of pro-life groups and polictians

I think there's just less dramatic TV shouting about it than the US because there's less religion in general (ironically)

Very, very rarely in mainstream politics.

That extraordinary case of the woman who lied on a lockdown zoom call (and was subsequently released), and a year old story about what people think Rishi Sunak thinks.

It's hardly a live issue. Almost never in the news. There is no serious effort to change the status quo, and it's not something that gets much discussion in mainstream political debate.

I cannot recall any discussion about abortion here in Australia for quite a long while. It is legal to freely, as in no questions asked, have one here in most states up to 22 - 24 weeks, except Tasmania which is 16 weeks. After that period one must have the consent of 2 medical practitioners to proceed.

There is no obligation for the woman to inform anyone of the procedure either, whether it be a wife to her husband, girlfriend to her partner or a minor to her parents. Oh, and no court is allowed to grant an injunction to stop the abortion, even if the person seeking the injunction is the paternal father.

There are no waiting periods for the procedure, and it is partially funded by the federal government via Medicare.

In fact it is illegal for anti-abortion activists to harrass visitors or staff of clinics that offer abortion.

Opinion polls conducted since the 1980's show the majority of Australians support abortion rights, and that support is seemingly increasing.

My former boss was a 60-something-year-old woman. The place had a lot of problems besides her. I found a much better workplace.

I had one pro-life friend who was raised by Evangelicals. She and her family didn't celebrate Halloween. She was married with children at age 21. I haven't talked to her in 15+ years.
