The people had their say a couple of years ago. I voted no at the time but I accept the vote and to be honest, it passed with such an overwhelming majority it does not need to be revisited.

The pro life people are genuinely mentallers though. Theyâre religious zealots and theyâre genuinely a fringe view that get a disproportionate degree of airing of their madcap views.

There should be a part of everybody that agrees with abortion in certain cases also, and this is the crux of why the antis are portrayed as mentallers
I donât respect the views of anti-abortionists at all. Theyâd have women enslaved if they could.
Part of the problem in America and why it has got to the stage itâs got to, is there has been years of gaslighting by self styled âsensible centristsâ like Labane that the headcases were not in fact headcases.
The âsensible centristsâ were neither sensible nor centrist. They were asleep.
The âhysterical womenâ were not hysterical.
The anti-abortionists were and are headcases, but highly effective at getting power.
If the essential fascism at the heart of anti-abortionism is not widely accepted and recognised for what it is, we in Ireland are probably doomed to follow Americaâs path at some point in the future.
The mantra of âfree, safe and legalâ quickly changed to âfree and safe for any reason, at any stage of pregnancyâ. What Democrats and some politicians here never got was that the majority of people supported abortion but were uneasy at the extremist abortion element that infests debate and media in this country and the US.
The biggest problem in America is the extremes of wealth and poverty. Not too unlike here but much, much worse.

What is the legal standing as regards late term abortion in Ireland, pardon my ignorance, it seems to be the major obstacle for a lot of the pro life mouthpieces.
I donât recall voting for that and assume it would only ever occur in the most extreme cases?
Have they even started doing abortions of any kind in Ireland yet?
I donât even know,
I find that thereâs a lot of scaremongering about something that I donât believe would ever happen,
After 12 weeks itâs only if serious risk of harm to the motherâs life or health or if baby/foetus wonât survive
The issue tends to be that in borderline cases doctors are working under fear of criminalisation and so err on side of caution.
People die when medical treatment is delayed is the concern thatâs still expressed.

I see the looney left want to roll back on everything they said they wouldnât.
Itâs a shame the 8th amendment was ever introduced a removing means we are now heading towards abortion as a form of contraception⌠Abortions on tap.
It was my one fear and i naively thought weâd not go down that road but you can never underestimate the looney left, they are set on ripping society apart
Next theyâll have a one stop shop for abortion and sex change all under one roof⌠Buy one get 50% off the other.
