EC it is..

What is EC. Do you mean emergency contraception aka morning after pill?

As far as I'm aware there is no procedure that can efficiently remove sperm once it enters vagina.

Torq, highlighting it doesn't change the fact that many people don't consider early stage abortion as murder. Not to mention

I'm surprised you even allow abortion in the case of mother's health of life being at risk. After all who are we to choose which one of them should live...

You don't but if you had an unprotected sex, or really want to make sure you can't get pregnant you can take the morning after pill. Which is already questionable to many conservatives.

And who said I would know? Don't add your own narrative.

Most women don't say it out loud, but the lifelong trauma and pain comes from having an abortion

I know few women that had it (PRL times women) and no, I didn't notice any trauma.

No, the decision should be made by the rape victim.

That's something that many people taking the anti abortion stance don't understand. It's not that we want the women to have an abortion. We want them to have that choice if needed.

Silence...because

Because you are an idiot we tend to ignore

But the woman's life is not in danger.

It might be if the situation overwhelmes her.

Imagine how they feel hearing of the abortion tourism and women travelling to

And imagine how a women is feeling carrying the child of her abuser, is asked questions about the situation, has to go to medical appointments and carry the pregnancy risk...

I'm clarifying.

But yes, I believe an abortion should be permitted in that case.
I put the women's life above fetus in early stages (I'm adding the early stages because someone will start talking about full time pregnancy)

morning-after pill... Even the pope would not consider this a case of abortion.

Actually the church is against morning after pill. And hospitals do no do 'sperm flush out' (facepalm)

Volleyball isn't very popular worldwide

I would say it's fairly popular, maybe not to the same level but still.

The girls just won their quarter final match and oh my, what a thriller. In set 1 &3 we looked like kids trying to play against professionals. How the girls managed to keep their morale and win is beyond me. GO POLAND!

he's a better bet

Definitely not in the looks department.

And on the way up? Highly doubt it. And I'm not Labour hater. Just it doesn't seems likely judging from what I see around me.

it was illegal to own a private vehicle unless you have somewhere off the road to park it.

Which basically stops poorer people owning one....

Quite frankly I don't give a damn whether you appreciate it or not. So you can repeat yourself ad nauseam and I will comment whenever I feel like it.

You think of something else. I mean the UK system (Lazarus and Jon were talking about it). What they mean is paying the minimum into the government pension system and getting much more.

Have you lived and worked in the UK for at least three years? You could get a UK state pension for a very reasonable amount even though you live in Poland.
Lazarus:
You need 35 years of payments to get the full amount. That amount is £221.20 / 1,111zl per week, so 57.772zl per year. To get that you can pay only Class 2 voluntary contributions and those £179 / 895zl per year. Yes, those numbers are correct. For paying thirty-five times 895zl, you get 1,111zl per week for life from your 67th birthday. So it takes 28 weeks to get back what you paid in, after that you're in the money. Live to 80 and you get back 751,036zl for the 31,325zl you paid in!
