Because I believe a developing fetus has some rights, rights that increase with the stage of pregnancy. Less than 12 weeks, I see little difference between a natural abortion and a chosen abortion, you are dealing with a potential life, and the rights of a woman to carry a pregnancy to term or abort trump the rights of the fetus. Again, >90% of all abortions take place during the first trimester.
I agree as time goes on it gets more tricky, especially with modern medicine where a fetus can now survive outside the womb at 22 weeks or so. Unless the motherās life is in danger I see no justification for elective abortion once the fetus is viable, a position most of the civilized world agrees with.
I).Impregnate either Mrs.Sullivan or daughter.
ii). Lose the fucking dog.
iii).Forget about SF.
I know more about them than youāll imagine.
iv). Thereās life outside of TFK - no-one gives a fuck about you anyway.
The proposed legislation is a 12 week limit on elective abortion.
Beyond which abortion would only be legal if the life or health of the mother is in danger, which is essentially the current law anyway. If you get into doubting whether these (rare) cases are valid, then you are doubting the whole medical profession, and not just the motives of pregnant women.
If they could stick to that theres an argument possibly for it, slippery slope though. Not sure how just properly implementing the current legislation wouldnāt have sorted this
A lot of effort there for someone supposedly so nonchalantā¦ especially given that you more or less said the same thing a few days ago, but you probably dont remember that.
I can only guess that youāre absolutely seething that the fundamentalist Ireland you and your kind created/ harboured is slowly being dismantledā¦after all, your generationās answer to problems was to lock them away behind big walls or to seek guidance from the pulpit ā¦ must be tough watching the backlash in your twilight years - like a Nazi on trial at Nuremberg.
I suspect Iāll plough on despite your kind words.
Iāll see you in a few days when you repost the same thing, pal.
