Origin of the word is English:

just another way in which the USA is a backward country. Even Ireland has progressed its laws.... I guess over the next twenty years as the country becomes more secular (like the rest of the western world) religion will have less influence over how people think.

In nearly all cases it only happens when an anomaly is detected late in the pregnancy that risks the mother or makes the baby unviable. It is a myth to say woman carry the baby to near full term and then decide they don't want a baby afterall.

Isn't that the point of the first trimester testing? I for one struggle enough to be an adequate parent to fully able children....

Is really hard to disagree with this. Reminds me of Beckham bitching that he shouldn't have to spend his own money on charities to get a knighthood.

Not for me to say. All I know is deeming personal protective equipment a luxury item and therefore subject to VAT is supremely c*&tish.

No why would I? Merely pointing out the hypocrisy of a government that is happy to piss hundreds of millions up the wall in contracts for its mates and tax the people harder to pay for it.

Maybe if the government had not made the mistakes of: or They wouldn't have to tax the vulnerable trying to protect themselves?

Except this isn't even vaguely true. A bill for 100+ billion and counting would be more accurate. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-10/-170-billion-and-counting-the-cost-of-brexit-for-the-u-k https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1337244/how-much-has-brexit-cost-taxpayer-amount https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/brexit-set-to-cost-the-uk-more-than-200-billion-by-the-end-of-the-year/16/06/

Approached by who? The Republicans saw him a "sideshow" candidate and unwanted distraction. Even Trump says:

This 150%. Would have been a great way to spend a relatively small amount to help the country's poorest children. But goes against the Tory ideology.

Different countries different conditions. Free breakfast clubs are common (at least in Canberra) they are, so kids can get a meal. There are domestic charities like "A Start in Life" or "The Smith Family" providing support to families in Australia, I never saw similar in the UK. The annual income threshold for free school lunches is $14,000k, this is a service only available to the very poorest people.

That's the mean spirit eh Parley? Let the poor kids starve. There are some kids in the UK who get free lunches at school during term time - it is means tested. Giving the children food, instead of their parents extra cash insures that is the kids actually gets the benefit. The Conservative party just voted the idea of extending the benefit to outside of term and lock downs.

Try one of these, if you don't like ABC: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/hunter-biden-hard-drive-everything-we-know.html https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/22/hunter-biden-giuliani-hard-drive-431022
