    For me it is no they should not be allowed, for too long men have been telling women what to do with their bodies. This has to stop. It is a WOMAN'S CHOICE.

    Should men vote on abortion 3 votes

    No, they should not be allowed
    0% 0 votes
    If they claim to respect women they should not
    100% 3 votes
    Yes they should be allowed to vote
    0% 0 votes

    My eyes have rolled so far back into my head, I can now see my brain. WHAT DO I DO?

    It's not just a woman's choice. Both helped in the creation of it, thus both should have a choice.

    Should only children have been allowed to vote at the referendum last weekend?

    Should women who are unable to conceive (either through medical reasons or menopause) be allowed to vote on abortion?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,684 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I long for a return to the days before universal suffrage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    Do you think we should start deciding what issues women should be allowed to vote on. If not then that cuts both ways and men should be allowed to vote. If so then women don't have an equal voice anymore, and again that cuts both ways.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,873 ✭✭✭Skid


    By that (nonsensical) logic, women who can't have children also shouldn't have a vote on Abortion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,012 ✭✭✭kincsem


    if all babies are girls then I see your point


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,558 ✭✭✭seven_eleven


    Go away.

    Fair enough, remove a mans ability to participate and in exchange you shoulder sole fiscal responsibility for the child. Sound fair?

    Also, Where's my sandwich?

    Of course they should be allowed to vote. It would be unconstitutional to have a referendum with a restricted franchise.

    So are you going to tell me i can't have sex now, should this not be my choice either?

    This is typical of the Catholic mindset hatred of women in this country.

    Actually, it's the decision of the doctor you're asking to perform it.
    If he/she says no can you go home and do it yourself safely? No.

    If you want to be consistent, you should be arguing for voting in such a referendum to be restricted to child-bearing age. Why should the right to change an aspect of our constitution be restricted to one gender?

    Are you one of those people that, when told they look good today, you instantly reply, "what? Don't I look good every day?"

    There's more than enough abortion threads in AH without adding this monstrosity. Take it to Humanities, but try and phrase it a bit more politely if you do.
