If there is to be limit then who should decide, just the woman in question right?
However, that all said, very few abortions occur in the third trimester, and they are generally not chosen as a form of birth control. Third trimester abortions are generally extremely expensive and medically dangerous, usually they are chosen because there is significant risk to either the mother or the baby has a birth defect. They are also used as bogeyman by prolife/antichoice activists.

Raoul let me down though! I thought he guy running the VKs name was Andy, double checked the restaurant thread and Raoul referred to him as Sean. Sean's the owner. Great meal as always.
I see they're introducing 3euro corkage next year. Doubt we'd get a group in before then though.
Fancy organising this January's outing?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Was talking about this exact situation with a couple of guys yesterday.
Ref gives no penalty for the foul.
Feyenoord go up the other end and score a goal to make it 2-0.
Ref gets a call from the 4th official and over 2.5 mins later, he is told it was a pen and disallows the Feyenoord goal.
Vitesse equalise and the game goes to pens.
Things could get really really messy.

Play was allowed to flow until a natural break to allow TMO have a look turns out it was a penalty and they go back and reset to the point where the penalty was to have been taken.
Whether it ends in penalties or 5 - 0 is completely irrelevant.
Are they not stopping the clock during TMO time? seems absurd to continue using added time. Is this coming to all soccer or is it an experiment?Turning millions into thousands

You will over the on coming months as men (and I assume you are all with a few exceptions on this forum, men) become more aware of the reality of what abortion and not having access to it means.
Bear in mind IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY this happens https://www.irishtimes.com/news/soci...tion-1.3116111
I don't think children should be put through this regardless of their gender. We are meant to take care of them.
Think about that.They are Children young enough to cry out for mommy and asking them to bear it ...is wrong.
I hope people will unite to stand up for them.
We need to educate ourselves and get out into the real world.
I am sorry if this seems extreme or angry. I don't mean it to be.
And it's not a judgement on anyone choosing to carry a child full term. And of course we need to support single parents and all parents financially so it is a free choice.
But forcing women to bear it is wrong.

And going from potential 1-1 to 0-2 may be the correct sporting decision but is liable to cause a riot (and I accept thats a 'chavball' problem). Could actually see the UK police refusing to license games played under such a rule. Remember it was mainly policing/stewarding issues which got rid of the golden goal.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostYeah, medical is different obv, just meant for regular 'choice' abortion. It does become undeniable that there is a kid inside you at some point around the middle of the second trimester, and abortion in that case just seems wrong. E.g. the 20 week limit in UK seems like way too much given a kid can be viably born, albeit its difficult, just a few weeks later.
The reality is the female body and medicine is so varied in individual cases I don't judge.
I mean that coming to my position was after seeing mind blowing and often unusual cases.
I understand that late term abortions will always be controversial and highly sensitive. But we as lay people not in that position should not be so quick to judge.
They are in fact mostly to end a wanted pregnancy. And if you don't consider a woman's choice n this in the law you leave potential for a woman to be forced to have one for medical reasons at the bequest of medical advice.
And yes as a pro choicer I accept there are women who regret abortion. Very few though.
There is no moral high ground ...not here....only compassion... I don't think abortion is wrong though. And I do think not allowing it is very wrong especially when you really look into it in depth. Then not allowing it is inhuman.
The legal limit in the UK is 24 weeks not 20 though.Last edited by Guest; 07-08-17, 02:56.

e.g. If instead of scoring a player had launched a malicious tackle and received a red card and badly injured someone then in practice the red card would be revoked and the player would still be on the pitch (very specific I know)
In general I think VAR is a great idea and look forward to it being implemented across the game.

Unless you can competing in which case you have a dress code. If you are volunteering or working they will tell you what to wear.
Otherwise You can go totally casual or dress up, people do both. Some even wear costumes.
So you could probably wear what you feel comfortable in if you are just buying a ticket

I'm curious if the new CEO comes from within the company, I have a guy in mind if it happens, former head of the trading floor in BF with a background in zoology

Originally posted by Gimmeabreakreally strange, it was obviously planned as the new CEO has been announced already. The feedback from internal staff surveys was that Breon had tore the heart out of the company and its culture. The man is a genius no doubt but I think he is likely better at delivering on a big target than bringing staff onside and building culture. It is also fairly well recognised that he has little time for the skill of marketing which is a bit of a problem if you are head of the current day PPB.
He has made loads of money, and deservedly so. He is a huge talent and he doesn't strike me as one to laze by the beach. He will do something and my early guess is Airtricity.
New CEO is Peter Jackson of Worldpay. He has been on the PPB board since 2013. This is disappointing as I was priced up at 50/1 to get the job yet it seems I didn't even make interview stage
I'm sure you're aware he's a big fan of outsourcing etc. Obviously the share price has taken a hit since the merger and a few long time staff in the BF share scheme I know bolted asap so wasn't a surprise from my side.
