BBC News: 愛爾蘭關于墮胎合法化的辯論

Very little, it's not mentioned. Most families keep their opinion to themselves anyway as such, you know. I suppose most urban people will probably vote yes. I think most rural people maybe will be on the no side. The majority I'd say they'd vote no. In certain circumstances, yes, the mother has to be looked after now. But just to go and get pregnant and just to say, yeah, you do in your own country abort it like, I wouldn't agree with that. No way. You're killing a human life, it's the very same as murder. The unborn has no say in this. All the people that I see that's voting yes, if their mothers and fathers voted for abortion in 1983, half of them wouldn't be alive today. There is a higher support for abortion in Dublin but outside of Dublin there isn't.

(墮胎這件事)很少被提起。反正絕大多數(shù)家庭對這件事的想法是不會對別人說的。我猜測絕大多數(shù)城里人可能會投贊成票。我覺得絕大多數(shù)農(nóng)村人可能會投反對票。大多數(shù)(農(nóng)村)人我想他們會投反對票。在一定環(huán)境下，確實，母親需要被照顧。但是懷孕后，就這樣出去，在我們自己的國家墮胎，我不同意。絕對不可能。你是在殺死一條生命，和謀殺非常像。未出生的嬰兒對這件事卻沒有發(fā)言權。所有我看到投贊成票的人，如果他們的母親和父親在1983年也投票同意墮胎，他們有一半人現(xiàn)在不會活著。在都柏林，有更多的人支持墮胎，但是在都柏林以外的地區(qū)，情況不是這樣。

As people inform themselves and realize that what the government is offering is abortion on demand, on very similar grounds to what's available in Britain, they don't want that. Abortion is not a compassionate response to a difficulty in pregnancy. What women need during pregnancy at any stage is support. Not help to end the life of their child. I'm canvassing because I don't believe in 2018 anybody should have to do that journey. This procedure could have happened in my own home country and for me not to have to travel. And I was really lucky because I wasn't sick, everything went, you know, smoothly. That's not the case for a lot of people. It should be able to happen in your own country.

在人們了解并且認識到，政府允許按需墮胎，和英國允許的情況都是基于非常相似的理由，他們就不會贊成了。墮胎不是孕期出現(xiàn)困難時富有同情心的做法。女性在孕期的任何階段需要的都是支持。而不是幫助她們結(jié)束她們孩子的生命。我在游說人們(同意墮胎)，因為我不相信到了2018年了，還有人需要長途旅行去墮胎。這件事在我自己的國家是可以做到的，我認為我們不需要長途旅行去墮胎。我那時真的很幸運，因為我沒有生病，每件事都進行得很順利。但是很多人的情況不是這樣。合法墮胎應該出現(xiàn)在我們自己國家里。
