Whose Mickey?

It’s also fascinating that people who claim to care about children’s welfare have no problem with children being subjected to distressing images. The targeting of children by the no fanatics is disturbing and dangerous.

There’s as much bullying in SF as there is in your own party or any other party and what little disagreements there were, have been dealt with. In fact, one of the main things stressed to me when I joined was the structures in place to express any concerns and that any concerns or observations about the party or anything I dont agree with are more than welcome.

As for you other horseshit … So all young people are pro abortion and the older lot are against? - The stance has the ability to lose as much support as it gains - At least we are taking a stance.

My horseshit? Do you not believe there is a difference in the demographics of the no vote?that older people are much more likely to be no voters? You’re mad so.

Not so much that SF would totally forgo everyone over a certain age to gamble on picking up voters under a certain age… that’s very, very cynical of you.

I’d be a little cynical alright when it comes to the motives of sf. I’d be cynical of a lot of what people with varying degrees of power say to be fair.

@Sidney

Those who want to keep abortion banned are neither silent, nor a majority.

They’re a very vocal minority of headbangers.

So everybody who disagrees with you on this is a headbanger? Those who are maybe not as expert on it as you are and just feel a bit uncomfortable with the possibility that a Yes vote could lead to US-style abortion on demand, they’re all headbangers?

[backinatracksuit]

That appears to be the case alright, headbangers the lot of them

[anon7035031]

I assume you mean UK style abortion on demand? The UK, where virtually all Irish women go to terminate a pregnancy, has a 24 week limit. Most US states are 20 weeks.

Yes that too.

So, considering any Irish woman can legally avail of abortion services in the UK, and that right has been enshrined into the constitution by Irish voters, what is the fucking point of the 8th amendment?

I’m not arguing whether yes or no is right. I’ll probably vote yes but still undecided. I’m questioning somebody calling large swathes of the population headbangers because they hold a different opinion to him. Dangerous, really dangerous mindset.

[anon7035031]

No, in this case @Sidney is right.

The only groups who oppose abortion, in the fashion the no campaign in Ireland do, are (i) the Roman Catholic headbangers, (ii) the extreme headbanger wings of Protestant churches, Lutherans and southern Baptists, etc, and (iii) the utterly insane Mormans.

Which group are you a member of?

What is distressing about these images?

[Matty_Hislop]

Children find them distressing. A child should be able to play a Peppa Pig game without being bombarded with propaganda by the No zealots.

[Horsebox]

Read what I wrote you dopey cunt. I’ll probably vote yes. If you genuinely believe only people in the groups you’ve called out there are considering voting no then you’re as stupid as other posters here say you are. My parents will vote no though, they don’t belong in any of those groups and they’re certainly not headbangers

[Tank]

If you don’t find images of abortion distressing then why are you anti-choice?

[backinatracksuit]

He’s a headbanger mate, a very weird individual

[HBV]

Abortion is distressing, you chose to campaign vigorously in favour of it. The crocodile tears for little childeren are laughable.

[HBV]

The images are distressing. Abortion is distressing.

[thedancingbaby]

Yet you want to deny some children the chance to even get to play the Peppa Pig game
