Abortion Referendum Thread

Iā€™m hearing a lot of @iron_mike style utterances as I go about my daily business. Iā€™m voting the opposite way to Mattie McGrath / Claire Daly / RonĆ”n Mullen / Ruth Coppinger (delete as appropriate) because I heard them on the telly and I canā€™t stand them. I find it absolutely baffling.

I heard of someone recently who was going to ā€œrepeal trainingā€. From what I could gather it was training on how to influence people and get the Repeal message across.

I was talking to one of the main yes campaign leaders in Cork tonight and she said the oppositeā€¦ Meeting a lot of anger about no posters and the way the church has handled itā€¦ She reckoned there could be a big back lash from those in the middleā€¦ Putting up abortion pics outside primary schools etc.

Lads, if abortion is murder, as a lot of you say, why arenā€™t you out campaigning for women who have abortions to be charged with murder?

The no fanatics are putting their sick ads on childrenā€™s games.

Whatā€™s baffling about It? Do you think I am the only one out there that is stuck in the centre ?

Iā€™ll be doing a leaflet drop in favour of repeal in my neighbourhood if anyone is around next week.

Send it up there are Iā€™ll print a few out for myself to dish out.

Did you head to training this week?

They better not steal any images from the video for ā€œTeardropā€ by Massive Attack - thatā€™s a blue line in this campaign as far as Iā€™m concerned.

No, Iā€™m going Saturdayā€¦

How can someone who plans to vote no be stuck in the center?

:laughing:

Because I do believe that the 8th needs to be repealed but I have an issue with whatā€™s proposed to replace it

Arenā€™t you the one who left a bank because you were unhappy only to take up the same role in another bank.
And you find my train of thought baffling?

Whatā€™s your issue with what is being proposed? Itā€™s perfectly legal currently for any Irish woman to terminate a pregnancy up to 24 weeks. Why is proposed legislation limiting termination to 12 weeks bothering you?

Seemingly because Ruth Coppinger is in favour of it.

Maybe they were angry yes supporters, saying they were undecided. Itā€™s a well known tactic that baby killers like to do from time to time!

Youā€™re throwing your money away even if itā€™s 100 to 1, itā€™s a landslide, weā€™ve grown up.

Where do you see the % coming?
