Ireland is not backward or Catholic anymore....neither is Spain

Yes, tell us what Biden has done now, regarding America.😂

You need to work on your comprehension sometimes

I said Catholicism is probably to blame not that those countries are Catholic... Even though it's the predominant religion in both

Funny how I’m not reading anyone complaining about Spain or Ireland here? Or the much lauded Nordic countries where half of them don’t subsidise or provide free pill?

North America is the only continent where the pill is free or subsidised everywhere.

Hola chum.

Some folk just hate Merica and Mericans, I guess.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Merica is the only country a state of which - yesterday - introduced new draconian legislation, directly related to the topic under discussion.

The idea that birth control is “subsidised” in the US also makes me laugh.

In Sweden the pill isn’t free, but their subsidy allows women to get three months of the contraceptive pill for EUR15. IUDs and implants are free.

Three packs of the pill in Norway costs from 80kr (about EUR8).

In Denmark, if you are a Danish citizen or resident, your basic medical costs, including the pill, are covered.

According to Planned Parenthood, the birth control pill costs around $50 per month in the US. The American Pregnancy Association notes that an initial physical exam with a physician may cost between $20 and $200 (depending on insurance coverage). Annually, women can pay up to $800, again depending on their coverage.

Sweden: EUR60 p/a
Norway: EUR32 p/a
Denmark: Free
US: EUR670 p/a

America does not get criticism here, right enough lol.

I think we all condemned the current Texas and US fundamentalist abortion ideas here.

I have spent years condemning US foreign policy, way before Joe messed it up more, and when Labour were backing US invasions into Afghanistan or Iraq, comrade crouch.😉

I will let you blame Catholicism (as I might receive attention for doing so) and I assume you stand over your claim that Ireland and Spain are backward?

Have you spent much time in either, as I have and they are not.

Any country that allows religion to dictate anything is backward
Ireland has moved on in that regard
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh is the pill now free or subsidised in Ireland? Thought it wasn’t.

Apologies all if my info was out of date

This.

Calling Ireland backward in 2021 is offensive, actually.

I am across the border almost every other week in recent months and to suggest the place is backward beggars belief.

I could say this view reflects a certain arrogance, but would not wish to offend English folk.

In Spain, women pay between EUR3 if they have a prescription and up to EUR10 monthly if they don’t.

Spain: EUR36 to EUR120

On many social issues, the UK, Ireland, Spain and world has been backward.

Fixed it for you.

You asked for people to criticise these countries and then nit pick when I did

Fair enough

Because its in the news so much.

Crouchy.

You called me a drunk the other day for posting to you and hec etc and suggested I had to slap it off etc.

Is this you posting sober, LMAO.?

I hardly drink anymore, after way too much during lockdown, but Wednesday was a glorious sunny day here and I had 6 tins of Guinness in the garden listening to music and chatting to friends.

Stupidly, I then read posts here, as I was avoiding the place, and replied to things I thought were dubious, in my own crazy way.

Yourself and others here have your views and fair enough, but this is an open forum for "contrary" and other opinion, and not a little cabal or echo chamber for one side....left, right, remain, leave or whatever, and better for it.

You have just said Ireland and Spain are backward, and blamed the Catholic church too....

If I did that, I would be called out.

Your claim that judges treat right wing guys differently from Islamist guys, based on one individual case, was open to scrutiny.

So next time you wish to lecture me or judge me, remember that you post things that are at best, open to debate and ill informed.

I have drank 12 tins and might do again, and post while doing so, or I may never drink again, but either way, you and others are not moral guardians.

Leave that to the fundamentalists who preach sobriety, no drugs and no fun.😊😎
