    Your poll needs a "maybe" option.

    Choice for what? Daddy or chips?

    Choice of what? The chateaubriand is very tempting. As is the sea salt studded asparagus wrapped in Parma. Don't choose the Beluga caviar though, an acquaintance says it's not very fresh. Shocking, I call it.

    OP is this to do with Pro Choice in the Abortion issue?

    Not a chance. It's about Chateaubriand. Far more important then a bunch of people arguing that they should be allowed to have their wombs cleared out with a sharpened rake.

    I nominate this as the most uninformitave opening post of the year.

    Was I the only person who thought this was taking place in March?

    I can't go because I don't live in Dublin.
    I wouldn't go if it was being held in the spare room in my gaf.

    You really need to work on your presentation. Start with including information. Any information. Maybe put those words in to the OP next time. Definately put it on any posters.

    I'm against abortion, but it's probably a good thing. God forbid someone like this has kids

    Which is why you have a choice not to have one (well the little lady in your life). Other people should be able to make the choice for themselves too.

    I am always amazed at the amount of men who are against Abortion.

    Let's face it, they will never have to make that agonizing dicision.

    4,000 'aborted' people didn't have the choice to attend last year. I'd expect the same number of 'aborted' people won't get the choice this year to march for their rights.

    Cute, but I'd sooner a sharpened rake in a clinic than rusty knitting needle on someone's kitchen table. :rolleyes:

    That's terrible. Who on earth is aborting people?

    A march for the big pole thing in dublin? No way! Tis just daftness.

    I wonder if they ever did a survey of woman attending abortion clinics exactly how many of them would be there without the knowledge of the father? It would be interesting to find out. I'd hazard a guess it would be quite a low number.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭Real Life


    im very in favour of abortion but it seems like a lot of effort to go up to dublin and protest while thinking this protest wont make any difference.
    Now if it was for legalizing cannabis and they were handing out some joints like i saw at one of those marches before id be there.

    Will the old people be going? You know the ones that marched and succeeded in getting the cut to the old age medical card reversed, they can work wonders that bunch. You should call them and see what they're doing that day. I won't be going, couldn't be arsed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭Ambient Occlusion


    I still don't understand. Why not keep it illegal here while legalising getting it done over the border. Everybody wins, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 465 ✭✭Rigol


    I think I'll go, the women there are supporters of abortion and by logic want the freedom of choice of abortion due to the fact that they have multiple brief intimate relationships with lots of different men
    If I go there I will have an increased chance of being chosen for such a brief exchange of bodily fluids which will give me the nice endorphin's.
    The gamble is whether the cost of the bus journey will be a poor investment.
    Ill schedule it in, although I may have to abort this plan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,072 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL

    Nobody wins in that scenario.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 122 ✭✭Ambient Occlusion


    Nobody wins in that scenario.

    Surely though it's not an insurmountable journey to the North to get it done if one wants to? It's better than not having it all because the other side will never concede to allowing it. I'm anti-abortion myself (Dunno why that is TBH) however I have no problem with people getting it done over the border if they choose to do so. Simply if no mention of the legality is made of getting it done elsewhere then no one need worry. That's a close to a friendly compromise as I can see and if the Holy See has a problem with it, tough.

    In short the anti-abortionists get their nice pristine constitution that obeys himself in the sky and the pro-abortionists get what they want.
    But of course I'm ignoring a whole load of other complexities and variables aren't I?

    Actually abortion is illegal in NI. You would have to go to England or Wales or possibly Scotland (not sure about the situation in Scotland tbh).

    Ah sorry I just assumed because it's legal in England. Sorry 'bout that. My point still stands though, if someone truly wants to have it done, then a trip across the sea isn't that much of a bother. It'd give them a while to rethink it too, just in case.

    Why post this in After Hours? Why assume that people who post here are automatically pro-choice-to-abort? :confused:

    Your logic is illogical and your thinking is puerile.

    Would like to. But don't. If a woman decides to have an abortion but the potential father doesn't want her to, he cannot stop her. If a woman decides not to have an abortion but the potential father wants her to, he can't force her.
