Oh here I go, about to get not-bookish and a little bit
opinionated. It happens sometimes but it’s fine – it helps keep things fresh
and I kind of had to make this post because I’ve seen a lot in recent weeks about
the Irish Referendum to repeal the 8th amendment and it’s really got
me thinking because actually, it continually baffles me that this is even a thing.
I mean, having a baby changes your entire life, carrying a baby changes you in ways you
cannot imagine and so the decision to become a parent or not is perhaps one of –
if not the most – defining decisions a person can make don’t you think? How
can it be fine to take that decision away? To make the making of that decision
a criminal offence?
