Nope, I didnât. Unsurprisingly itâs gone over your head as usual
Politically speaking it would be a perfect hospital pass to bequeath to an incoming Fianna FĂĄil led government.

Extreme examples can and do happen on a reasonably frequent basis.
Those who want to defend the status quo should be able to provide answers as to what they think should happen in such cases, otherwise they havenât thought their position through properly.
What youâre trying to do here is to de-legitimise extreme cases as a topic for discussion, when theyâre actually central to the debate - the Savita case was pretty much the sole reason for movement on the X Case legislation. Itâs the extreme cases that show up so glaringly the injustice of the current constitutional position. Limiting the terms of discussion is not something you have power over on this forum, as far as Iâm aware.

Semantics ruining the joke 
no pedantics did
Yes, that was the second joke. Pedant.
There are no extremes in murder. Itâs black and white. When you end. A life there is no hard and soft side. Itâs a life taken. Nobody should attempt to dress that up.

Itâs nothing to do with being a God botherer, I go to mass about once a year. I just think abortion is a horrible thing
Why is it a horrible thing?
I donât think anyone would argue abortion is a pleasant or desirable thing. Itâs a necesssary medical procedure though in many cases, which is why outlawing it is moronic.
What is horrible is denying women necessary medical treatment, and forcing them to leave the country to get it.

Iâm in favour of it when it is medically necessary, not for just any ordinary situation though
Why? Whatâs the moral argument to outlaw abortion in the first trimester?
So say a woman finds out she is pregnant, and doesnât desire to be pregnant or have a baby, for whatever reason. Why shouldnât she have the right to terminate the pregnancy? For this arguments sake, say within the first trimester.
How do you propose enforcing a law that makes abortion illegal in this kind of situation, as we know the law doesnât prevent Irish women having abortions. Chain women to beds until they have their unwanted baby? This is what makes the whole issue so silly, the courts have already ruled you canât stop women travelling, so essentially all you are doing is exporting the problem, and causing an unnecessary financial and mental burden on Irish women.

Do you not think abortion would become more widespread if it became readily available in Ireland rather than having to leave the country to get it done?
you would see a shit load less of young skanger girls in cheap tracksuits pushing buggies thats for sure. in turn youd have a shit load less bottom dwellers looking for housing assistance from the tax payer which would be great.
Im still against it though as its murder.

Iâm really looking forward to the referendum.
It will be vicious.
Let the pinkos and Iona crowd into a field and let them at it like the Battle of Bannockburn .
Iâd not vote in this. I feel it is an issue for ladies to decide for themselves. The Irish solution of letting someone else do the dirty work is a classic of the country. I personally would allow termination up to a point, I certainly wouldnât stop a woman from deciding to do so, and in such cases, which happen all the time, it shoukd be available here. Imo.

Up the childrenâs allowance to a 1000 euro per month per child and watch the whole problem just go away. Then weâd be building council houses to bate the band. Plenty of work for the builderst. Breakfast roll man back in business. Loads of jobs for midwives. Economy back on track. Fuck Iâm a genius
Are you in favour of the death penalty for criminals?
