Yup, it's pretty good news if it gets the old fogeys here all worked up. I
bet it's killing them that it's JUST out of reach (Oh, so near yet so far!).
The funny part is, they say they won't carry out abortions, as about 6,000
Irish women travel to the UK for them every year. A classic case of NIMBY
I'd say.

the Nice Treaty. Ignore if it's too far outside the scope.

crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures
to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
