Who the hell do these people think they are demanding what we can do or not in our own country ? Get out but then again you are dealing with a wet rag like Kenny who would prefer to continue to export problem to U.K.

The pressure on Ireland to legislate in the area of abortion on the back of the Irish Supreme Court decision on the X Case, demonstrates how insidious the ideology of the pro-abortion is. Ireland statistically is one of the safest countries in the world for a woman to give birth to her child, and yet a demand is being made for abortion to be available in cases where a woman's health was in danger. Experts at a recent International Symposium held in Dublin, to discuss healthcare issues, unambiguously announced that " "direct abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a mother.” So there you have it, if pro-abort do not relish this unbiased opinion of medical experts, then all they are left with is their unasavoury pro-abortion position, which is really nothing more than abortion on demand. Abortion is not a medical necessity as well as being morally indefensible.

When will American politicians learn to keep their noses out of other people's business? If they are opposed to abortion, then let them write PERSONAL LETTERS to PM Kennedy, not abuse their office(s) by sending a petition undoubtedly on Congressional stationery and identifying themselves as U.S. Representatives.
I'm opposed to abortion for ANY reason (BTW, that's my PERSONAL OPINION and I'm not interested in a pissing contest with those who are pro-choice) Those who are pro-choice are entitled to their opinion and I would hope eventually you will see the light.

Nicoletta, abortion at the moment is not allowed, so what is happening. The women are going over to Britain, book the clinic and are back home within 3 days. " women and childrens health flourishes " you say, what a load of godswallop. Rome would like you. These politicians have no right in telling our government what irish women should or should not do. None of thier friggin business.

ewhqatrs next - the repubs are doing the crooked hierarchy's business - trying to outlaw all forms of birth control..............As if they dont realize that too many children throws families into poverty. And that no Birth control meas more abortions and more botched abortions - as well as more STDS among all communities.................Does anyone remember how the pope a couple years ago told aFricans that (in effect) condoms cause AIDs. IN a continent where 23 million are infected, and 2 million have died in the past few years...............Esentially, the pope got his head handed to him...............There is a reason dogma is called DOGma

Don't listen to those jerks, Mrs. Kenny. They do not represent the women of America, and have no business interfering with the women of other lands. We fully intend to vote them out and restore our rights to control our own bodies with our doctors.

Don’t concerned men and women of countries all around the globe, including the USA, often plead to other countries to not execute a person but to grant a pardon or at least mitigate the sentence of death? I don’t see any difference from that in these American politicians pleading to save the lives of future unborn Irish.

The law can only be changed by the consent of the people by referendum, the government, or those 17 congressmen would have no bearing on the outcome of a vote on abortion,that said there are a lot of like minded people in Ireland,mostly influenced by religious belief,but not all, the vast majority of which voted against abortion last time out,but most likely a lot closer now if a vote was taken.

Will some one tell me when Ireland became a state? What right has the United States to tell them what to do? Holy moses the states are trying to tell the world what to do. Then they wonder why they are hated all over the world. Stay out of other countries business and mind your own, it not like the states don't have huge problems of their own.
