Just to say this isn't a closely tied to religion in Ireland as I think it is in the US. Opposition to abortion is still pretty high amongst atheists in Ireland. When I was an undergrad the head of the anti-abortion league in my uni was an ardent atheist.
Yes, the ethics of abortion are not restricted to those with religious beliefs. It's concerns us all.
I have to say that I'm personally uncomfortable with the current situation where we devolve the decision to the woman's right to choose and arbitrary time periods.

I don't have any. Some problems don't have simple answers, but I'm uncomfortable ending life for convenience.
One day we'll look back on these practices and shudder.

Re: Ringo and Jar. Two peas in a pod
I'm not sure 'convenience' is a factor in very many abortions.

I don't think so. Abortion has beeen around since.the first person figured how to do it. For millenia.

I'm pretty sure it is. But I guess it depends what you think 'convenience' means.

I'm just hoping for continued improvements in technical solutions. The condom was one, the contraceptive pill another, the 'morning after' pill yet another. (Though that last is also technically an abortion, most would accept that a few undifferentiated cells are not the same as a 12 week foetus.)
There needs to be changes in society too - equal access to early medical help, better education etc etc.
A boy can hope.

If you search for the most intelligent person to ever live, you will find the name William James Sidis. If you look up information on him you will find: In 1919, Sidis was arrested for participating in a socialist May Day parade in Boston that turned violent.
That fact that Sidis was a socialist proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that, far from being "the most intelligent person to ever live", he was an idiot.
A socialist - by defintion - has sh_t for brains.

Re: Ringo and Jar. Two peas in a pod
All those options are not 100%. Rapists and abusers rarely use birth control. Shame and fear will keep many girls and women from addressing it in a timely manner. Ectopic pregnancies will always exist. Complications and diseases will always exist that make abortion the safest and most effective manner of saving or preserving the life of the mother.
Oh yeah, none of your damn business what a woman chooses to do with her own body.
