Almost 2,000 women sought post-abortion care in Ireland last year

Don't forget that American billionaire Chuck Feeney bankrolls the Irish version of Planned Parenthood.

Bodies such as the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) often have a paradoxical effect, causing problems they were established to resolve. Did voluntary work for a certain flagship drugs treatment centre here in Dublin some years ago whom, almost preditably reported an increased demand for their services each year, not entirely uninfluenced by requirements of government funding. Needle exchanges may save users from the hepatitis, but they also encourage drug usage by seperating behaviour from responsibility. By mediating cause and effect. Likewise with IFPA unwittingly encouraging abortion. Some of the greatest damage done in modern society is by well intentioned but misguided do-gooders bearing all the hallmarks of indulgent mothering of spoild brats. Apologies if this sounds Ayn Rand-ish. It also happens to be true.

"The group said an improved awareness of counseling services has resulted in an increase in the numbers attending the clinics and calling their helpline." I wonder how much the economy has to do with the increase? If there is no money to feed the already-born ones, where will it come from to feed the new one?
