PERHAPS THESE ANTI-ABORTION RIGHTS THUGS WOULD BE HAPPIER IN ONE OF THESE PLACES.

In AMERICA we women have the RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

And we are not giving up that right. No amount of hateful nutbag rhetoric, bombings, or murders is going to make us give up that right.

1. Poor, poor Ireland. Though I do believe they allow abortions in some instances.

3. well, it's a question of a train trip really in the UK

Unfortunately there are a lot of places here in the US where women have to travel to have access to abortion.

2. Abortion is legal in Iran

with the approval of a husband, father, older brother, or other first degree male relative in the case of an unmarried woman.

Abortion is just peachy if MEN get to dictate who gets it and who doesn't.

4. Right....

It's all about controlling women here as well.

7. Know what else is legal in Iran? Sex change operations

And apparently doctors are quite skilled at it.

The reasoning is, if you're a homosexual, you get a chance to get a sex change operation. See, being gay in Iran is treated as a correctable disease.

And if you DON'T take advantage of the free surgery, you're executed for sexual perversion.

Nice country, eh?
