Abortion Referendum Thread

An exemplary punishment beating via social media is the term I think.
The dog will get the shit kicked out of him I’d fear. @Joe_Player will have to chair the peace talks.

Vote no then u t they sort it out man. Can’t allow this unrestricted crap

The only option open to any of us is to repeal the 8th, we can propose imaginary legislation all we want but it’s pie in the Sky
I sincerely hope nobody you care for is ever put at risk because of this anachronism, I feel confident it won’t be an issue in a few months time though

The only option for people who want abortions for healthy babies with healthy mothers is Yes,

For those who are pro-life it is No.

It’s as simple as that.

It’s not a simple issue at all, the only choice we have is yes or no, I’d favour the lives of mothers,

No you’d rather that women can abort a baby because they don’t want the inconvenience of facing up to the consequences of their actions - no to save a woman’s life.

Do you think 1 woman’s life is worth that of 100,000 babies?

Normal healthy innocent babies with healthy mothers are being put at risk. As a member of the human race this is disturbing to me.
I sincerely hope any future family members or even your lovely wife of yours don’t go about aborting fine healthy babies for no reason at all.

Thanks mate, unless the circumstances demand it I will suggest otherwise.
My own baby making days are behind me but it’d make me sad to think that anybody would put my future (unborn) grandchildren ahead of my daughters if eithers life was at risk

If you had ever experienced love, you would know the answer is yes. The life of a woman is worth an infinite number of the unborn.

You’re a very very lucky man.

Of course it’s going to be unborn if the baby is killed. Particularly disgusting to justify when it’s a healthy baby that carries no threat to it’s mother’s life - but that’s what you want - babies killed because the people don’t want to face up to the consequences of the actions they have taken.

Maybe we should just let drink drivers walk off with an apology and not hold them liable to their actions when they have fatal consequences.

It would be sad if your daughter put herself ahead of a child when the child carries no health concerns to her.

It would indeed but it’s in the ha’penny place compared to what I outlined, if she wanted my advice on the matter I’d support carrying a healthy baby, but I hope I wouldn’t force any issue with them.

Is it?

It’s still a loss of life and far, far, far more common that the situation you outlined.

I would have no issue supporting a change in legislation whereby the mother’s life is in serious threat under a pregnancy but that’s now what this referendum is about.

It is one of the things that it’s about, the most important thing for me.
I can’t believe you’re equating the life of my(or anyone’s) daughter with that of an unborn child,

No.

It’s allowing unborn babies to be killed because the parents don’t wan to face up to the consequences of their irresponsible behaviour.

Children deserve the right to grow up and live and repealing the 8th removes that right.

Why is it that we need to paint all these issues as dichotomous dilemmas when they are far more complex and nuanced. The Yes side using the ‘its the mother or child’ or indeed ‘men v women’s choice’. You previously had the ‘homo v hetro’ during the gay marriage referendum. If it’s not this it’s ‘Muslim v Christian’. All this does is to fracture communities and isolate people further. Is it any wonder we have a growing mental health crisis. Of course the eventual solution for this will be proposals for Euthanasia and the right to die. It suggests to me of a society losing the capacity to love. This then is the beginning of the end because love conquers all and without it humanity is nothingness.
These are genuine problems & dilemmas but the solutions being offered are cheap, lazy & inhumane.

How about we keep the 8th but legalize the option to travel abroad for abortion and subsidize flights? Let women travel to all those countries where love no longer exists and we will remain the only country in Europe where love flourishes.
