Abortion Referendum Thread

[anon7035031]

On average, about 2.6% of human DNA is Neanderthal (although much higher in some TFK posters), studies show breeding between the first humans to leave Africa and Neanderthals started at least 100,000 years ago. The only humans who have no Neanderthal DNA are those that never left the sub Sahara. A reasonable proposition is the cave paintings from roughly 60,000 years ago were done by hybrids.

The yes campaigners here (I’d be a yes voter but not a campaigner myself) are merely correcting the very offensive mistruth which was expressed this morning that they condone children being painfully put to death under the terms of the repeal of the 8th, there’s really no need for tne hysterics here

The No supporters here are the same sort of simpletons that jumped on the “Alfie’s Army” bandwagon.

Attention-seeking fools, basically.

Do the anti-choice nutters have anything apart from blatant lies?

Pro-life posters that say a foetus can kick and yawn at nine weeks are factually incorrect, according to the Master of the Rotunda Maternity Hospital.

Speaking to Newstalk’s Lunchtime Live, Professor Fergal Malone noted that a “yawn is an inhalation of breath" and as such is impossible for a foetus - which is surrounded by fluid in the womb.

The Professor also noted that the notion of a foetus kicking or having “any such conscious movement” after nine weeks gestation is misleading.

He said the posters are causing “extreme distress” among pregnant women.

The Rotunda Hospital was forced to call the Gardaí after a group of campaigners picketed in front of the hospital with posters featuring graphic imagery.

Professor Malone said the protesters were “holding them up to the faces of people walking through the hospital.”

Ah yea. You’re going alright. You’re definitely not coming

He knows I was hitting the road at the conclusion of my scheduled meeting today. You don’t seem to be fond of work yourself.

Point taken, my argument about that to be a real person means to be rational still stands, albeit maybe only theoretically.

[ironmoth]

That’s actually quite fascinating. I would never have guessed that on average 2.6% of human DNA is from neanderthals. I would have thought it would be much lower on average. Do you have a link to a paper or an article?

[anon7035031]

Has it lowered your self esteem?

Just looked it up, that’s the high end of the range and typical of East Asians. Europeans are in the 1.8 - 2.2% range.

So it’s the high end of the range now, as opposed to the average, is it?

@anon7035031

On average, about 2.6% of human DNA is Neanderthal

Where did the above figure come from? Do you have a link to the source?

If we repeal the 8th Neanderthal babies will be aborted. #savethe8th

@Sidney will have to reconsider

[alf_stewart]

Is he a Neanderthal? I thought he was just a cunt.

@ironmoth

Where did the above figure come from?

I pulled it out of my arse.

[iron_mike]

No. He’s too stupid to be a cunt

[alf_stewart]

Ah Sidney is a bit unhinged but hes not the worst at the back of it all.

Go away!

[anon7035031]

For conspiracy theory buffs, the fall of man myth may well reference our ancestors mating with Neanderthals and the subsequent degradation of our DNA. The attached article (note the 2.6% @ironmoth) references a host of gene variations causing diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, along with neurological and psychiatric disorders, that originated in Neanderthals.

As much as 2.6% of your DNA is from Neanderthals. This is what it's doing

No he’s not. He just has a habit of taking one extreme or the other. Not capable of seeing the middle ground
