Abortion Referendum Thread

I never said anything about innocentā€¦and I donā€™t believe in abortions as late as week 20ā€¦ But if youā€™re looking for a point when you can possibly introduce legal terms such as murder, it would be after 20 weeks which is when the entity can live independent of a hostā€¦ But as I said, I think thatā€™s way too late ā€¦ Iā€™m happy with 84 days as the latest date if we are to introduce abortion.

The Brehons had some marvelous laws, hereā€™s a small sample of my favorites that several posters here should pay heed toā€¦

Playing flute and fiddles was looked down on @HBV, @glenshane

A husband who through listlessness does not go to bed with his wife shall pay a fine cc. @Cicero_Dandi

If a woman makes an assignment to meet a man in her bed and screams when he shows up, he is deemed not guilty @Sidney

It is illegal to give someone food that has been found with a dead mouse or weasel @Turenne

Apologies pal, I meant independent.

Great ad for retrospective abortion right there

My point still stands

Ironic that the No posters say ā€œI can yawn and kickā€.

Because whenever I see a No poster I feel yawning and kicking it.

Itā€™s also about immaculate conceptions and turkey basting accidents.
Its about every single pregnancy, and the right of every mother to abort that baby for any or no reason.

Do you think rape victims should be forced to go full term?

As does mine mate. A foetus will develop into a person, who has done no wrong. I donā€™t think anyone has the right to decide that life

Who are the brehons?

Its not the issue. We will not be asked that question in the ballot box.
If that was the issue we would be asked that question.

Can you answer the question please?

I assume you are talking about your personal beliefs, and not what the law should be?

Under existing law, a woman in Ireland can terminate a pregnancy up to 24 weeks, and if medically necessary a doctor can terminate a pregnancy at any stage.

Travelling solicitors.

Itā€™s a random question that has no basis in this di discussion.
Do you believe that all pregnancies resulting from turkey basting accidents should be forced to go full term?

Yes mate, my personal beliefs. Laws of man can be a load of bollox

Why are you being so evasive? Are you ashamed of yourself?

Come back to me with the figures on rape victims wanting abortions and Iā€™ll form an opinion on it then.
I donā€™t usually have strong opinions on hypothetical situations and this one you have created i s not the basis of this referendum

Thatā€™s one of the most bizarre sentences Iā€™ve ever read. :smile:
