Abortion Referendum Thread

What’s the latest on the polls? Last I heard it was about 2 to 1

Oh there’s a few measures that’d drop the number of crisis pregnancies quite dramatically

So they’re showing a graphic made up image of a baby been burned and you want to vote yes so they can crush its skull?

Drop =/= Eradicate

The no crowd are burning pictures of Savita now. Scum of the earth.

It’s the who do you think will win poll that matters.
Not the what are you voting for.

That’s around 56-44 apparently

Am I supposed to feel some sort of connection with this lady?? I don’t know her or anything about her life. Maybe some homeless man was burning it to stay warm. Maybe it was a nut yes side campaigner trying to say the no side done this.

The No lunatics in a nutshell there.

No worse burning the poster than using her name as a means to an end. For the Rosa crowd Savita is little more than a hashtag. Did they even ask her husband for permission to use her image?

Wow, what a stupid comment.

Her father has endorsed the campaign and urged Irish people to vote yes.

That’s not the question I asked. I’ll ask again. Did Rosa get permission from her husband to use her image?

I have no idea.

But why would that bother you seen as you have such a relaxed attitude to people burning her image?

Actually now that you mention it the government have said they are planning to try address the cost of contraception and sex education in schools.

Also funnily enough the main crowd behind the save the 8th vehemently opposed the introduction of contraception in this country and they oppose certain aspects of sex education in schools which they mostly control. . They are also the same crowd who campaigned against the children’s rights referendum.

And the same crowd who put children in septic tanks and unmarked graves,

No idea but you come in swinging saying I was stupid.

Given that her case has been used and abused by campaigners and politicians up and down the land I’d say burning her poster is way down the list of things.

It was a badly written piece of shit that will have unintended consequences

Did the no campaign?

Her father gave explicit approval to use her image

As I said, Savita is just a hashtag to people used and abused by campaigns.

And while the father gave permission he’s not the husband.

Point is that in my opinion people shouldn’t be cynically using her name the way it has been, on both sides.

Her case is very relevant as to why the 8th needs to be appealed, of course it’s going to be debated. A lot of people don’t want any more women to die in Irish hospitals because they have been denied abortions.

The scumbags who burnt her poster call themselves pro-life, laughable.
