Ireland is a holdout on abortion. Must clear that out. If no children can be aborted to save the life of the mother, women must be dying all the time over there, but curiously haven’t heard of it before. Interesting that they don’t appear to be Irish. Have to learn the local customs. Like in parts of India they leave their dead out for vultures to recycle their flesh.

Note that it's not leave their dead out -- the dead of the Zoroastrian religion specifically are put in towers with the vultures

The reason for this is that the Zoroastrians believe that the dead bodies pollute land or sea and that fire is holy, so they cannot be consigned to flames. So, the vultures eating is the purest form according to them

It's only Zoroastrians who are descendents of Iranis who escaped from Islam, no other community in India does that.
