Three Families

Love Genevieve Oreily so I thought I'd give it a go. It was decent. Acting's good. It's depressing but a true story. Hers was heartbreaking. No pro lifers are going to like it so don't even watch it and criticize it because of course you won't like the source material. Anyways decent watch.

I am male, and a father, and a grandfather so, it may come as a shock to some when I say; this was a powerful, emotive piece of drama.

I have never been in favour of abortion on demand i.e., "I" got pregnant, "I'll" get rid of it, it interferes with my life. However, I have always been in faour of "termination of life" whereby viable life was, and is, unatainable. I am actualluy also in favour of th morning after pill.

This is now the 21st Century, and yet, some minds are still 2,000+ years in the past. How DARE anyone tell a woman, she must carry a dying/dead child to term, just to fulfill something I will never understand.

And how DARE anyone could suggest that, anytime a woman, young or old, has sex; has to be chapperoned until, there is no proof of pregnancy, Then do it all again the next time she has sex, until she becomes pregnant, by design or accident. Then have the right to control how she is treated for the next "x" months until she gives birth.

This excellent drama depicts most of what I have said above, except the chapproning. Are we, as western civilised, espousing Taliban ideals, not to mention some other Asian and some African ideals whereby, women have no rights whatsover?

Could not believe that women and young girls have no rights when it comes to abortion....it can only happen because of Catholicism and an act imposed in 1861!!!!

To make a woman and young girls go full term knowing that the baby would be born dead is wicked and inhuman...and only get a choice at the birth not to resuscitate is worse than allowing terminations.

I find myself wanting to thank the writer of this heart wrenching programme for creating something as bold and unflinching as 'Three Families'.

The empathy with which this often contested issue is handled is a real testament to its direction and the wonderful actors. I would advise everyone with a uterus (and everyone who knows someone with a uterus) to watch this brilliant piece of real-life drama. 10/10.

So important to shine a light on this injustice. So glad this program could show just a tiny part of the way this country is run. We should. It ever have been putting the views of the religious few ahead of the rights of women.
