Abortion Referendum Thread

Legend.

I am discussing the issue.

I am also merely pointing out what an utter hypocrite you are when you pretend to have such care for the unborn.

You have a track record of celebrating kids getting blown up, mothers getting abducted and murdered, making appalling comments about children born with HIV etc etc.

Spare us your bullshit.

Yes it does, as equating the right to life of an embryo to a girl or woman is a religious argument. Only a country that blindly follows religion and doesnā€™t understand the concept of separation of church and state could insert such a clause into itā€™s constitution.

All of it is true.

ā€¦and the loutish abuse continues.

Another hypocrite enters the fray.

Big mouth.

Thatā€™s cut me deep :frowning_face:

Can any of the No side manage a response to the devastating reality for their campaign that countries in which abortion is illegal or highly restricted have HIGHER rates of abortion than countries in which there is access to safe and legal abortion?

Yes but most of those countries also stone women to death which is ok in the minds of the deluded.

Iā€™ll be voting NO on May 25th. Any mothers who wish to terminate the babies growing inside them are free to buy a ticket and get on a boat to England and do so over there. We have different morals to them over in that rotten cesspit and Iā€™ll be voting that it should remain that way.

Iā€™d say youā€™ve persuaded any undecideds here with that argument.

To vote Yes.

Will you be buying your daughter a ticket if her pregnancy isnā€™t viable or is a thread to her health?

What do you mean ā€œif her pregnancy isnā€™t viableā€?

If the pregnancy is a threat to her health as you say doctors are able to intervene in spite of the eight amendment.

No they arenā€™t.

Pregnancy may not be viable but no immediate threat to her health

So sheā€™s going to have to buy her own ticket and travel to another jurisdiction for the care she needs?

What are you on about ā€œthe care she needsā€? There are doctors and obstetricians have come out all over the place and have said that the eight amendment did not impede them in the care of pregnant patients and their babies. They were queuing up on Clare Byrne live to tell the public as much. Are you saying all these practising experts were telling lies? :laughing:

Of course theyā€™re telling lies. They are a very small minority, and they object because they have a very narrow moral position they want to impose on everybody else, almost always driven by their personal religious views.

In every country where abortion is safe and legal, youā€™ll find a minority of medical practitioners who are anti-abortion in absolutist terms. Thatā€™s because in every country there are medical practitioners to whom the imposition of a narrow, moral view on others is more important than best medical practice, again almost always driven by their adherence to religious dogma.

The vast majority of medical practitioners working in this area support repeal - obstetricians, gynaecologists, midwives, nurses, GPs.

Those at the coalface who are most familiar with the issues support repeal in the highest numbers of any profession across the whole of society.

Why do you think that is?

I am not going to enter into a back and forth with you because I deem you to be a know it all head case with endless time on his hands and who never knows when he is beaten even in the face of insurmountable proof.

I donā€™t expect you to respect the way Iā€™m voting on May 25th and nor do I care. I have read and taken in plenty from both sides on the topic and have weighed everything up in my conscience and you are not going to change the way in which I wish to vote.
