Well, since Ireland has been abortion-retarded until very recently, I guess you guys had to implement some proper maternity care.


I suspect either people dislike the use of the word retarded in a offensive way, or they didn't get that you meant retarded as in "delayed".

I like to think you were downvoted because they didn't grasp you meant delayed or behind progress :)


Nah I meant retarded. And people are right to downvote it, I shouldn't have used that kind of language. It only goes to pollute the message which was in essence that the religious grip in Ireland has been a very detrimental factor in the progress towards proper health care for women in the country.

Sorry if I offended anyone, it was wrong.
