Dr Kermit Gosnell would be delighted with this bill.
If it had been in operation where he was performing all of those illegal late term abortions he’d have only had to pony up a few dollars in fines.
A new bill aimed at decriminalising abortion in Ireland will be debated by the Dáil tomorrow.

FIANNA FÁIL HAS introduced legislation that would ban tattoos and intimate piercings for people under the age of 18.
The bill was brought forward by Mary Butler TD who said that “getting a tattoo is a lifelong decision” and should only be made by adults.

Poll: Should tattoos and intimate piercings be banned for under 18s?
