    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

    Here in the colonies, if a state votes in a referendum to do or not do a certain thing and it passes, it becomes law...or has the same impact as law. I don't understand why, after the Brexit vote to leave the EU, this is still being debated.

    Didn't they have a second vote that went the other way?

    Parliament voted to delay it but it becomes law at the end of March if a settlement can't be reached.

    "A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting."

    Referendums are not legally binding, so legally the Government can ignore the results; for example, even if the result of a pre-legislative referendum were a majority of "No" for a proposed law, Parliament could pass it anyway, because parliament is sovereign.

    Of course they do, it means leaving the EU and all its institutions, including the Customs Union, Single Market and the Court of Justice of the European Union. I might add that nobody helda referendum on the UK joining the EU in the first place.

    How was the entrance to the E.U. by G.B. done? We in America have difficultiy following the maze of Parlimentary governance.

    Wow, you do spend too much time worrying about the USA as you seemingly know very little about your own country.
    i.e. hard v soft brexit, the complication with norther Ireland and the referendum had three years into it, depending on what you
    mean when you say "the first place"

    Here is a refresher course for you, courtesy of the USA

    Seems the problem is you voted "leave" v "remain" without knowing what it meant and now you've fucked your politicians
    because they can't get the job done and your GNP is going to fall permanently if you do.

    I would love seeing Britain secure a hard border with a passport required because the dynamics of Europe's immigration crisis mirrors the U.S. crisis, though in a more extreme fashion. I can relate.
