Portugal is continuing on the path of error and hypocrisy! It is European when it likes, Iberian when it needs to be and Atlantic when it wants! Let the women abort, let this country live in Freedom! Not with this government that turned out to be nothing!

-armando sousa
The government must think that Portuguese women are all going to hurry get pregnant so they can go on a boat trip.

Long live the 'Abortion Boat', long live Freedom. Long live this initiative. This hypocrite comments against abortion make me nauseated.

Responding to Carolina: When you are nauseated, think of your mother. For Carolina to be here nauseated because of that that she already is, her mother let her live... we are not egoists! Abortion is not the solution!

Responding to 'me', it is a pity you are no longer here to read this. My mother, who is now 70 years old, had, in her time, 7 abortions before she had me, and my grandmother had 18 children of which 6 survived. These women were obliged to have sex with their husbands. And moreover, my grandmother was abandoned at birth. And this is only one of many identical stories of women. You are very ignorant.
