    Interesting choice of sign at the pro-life demonstration shown in the documentary

    It makes no sense using that sign to protest abortion. They need to take that issue up with their god!

    What surprised me (but of course really shouldn't have done) about this thread is quite how much there was taking things out of context, and twisting of words to ultimately say thing which are untrue. Probably mostly not deliberate but still a little wtf to be honest...

    Happens on every thread. Some of it is just because everything is written down and can be misread, sometimes it's the under represented side grasping at straws.

    If you want to see word twisting, you should see the SSM thread...

    It can be about the ratio's too, its not always about the uber high thanks 1st page posting ;)

    I think we can say with some certainty that people have stronger feelings about abortion than thanks.

    Nah, I don't have any remotely strong feelings on abortion AT ALL. I just want to keep posting stuff here so people will post thanks, cos my life will be so much more fulfilled then.

    Obviously, this post is also part of that tactic... #honesty

    When I lived in Ireland and had sky I'm sure I had BBC3, and even here it's on freeview etc, so would've thought it could be easily accessible for many, even though not all. maybe I was wrong.

    Was just so surprised by so much posting yet so little when it went live :)

    Yes, I have it. As I said though, I was out when it aired and now have to wait for the pirated airing online. There's no +1 or play-back facility on BBC.

    This doesn't actually explain it to me. She's right, it does mean more to a lot of people than thanks. What's wrong with what she said?

    Ah no, you're grand. Was just more pondering in relation to access in ROI in general, and unpirated... but I'm way too out of touch with ROI now in any case... :)

    I quite like your pith. Although only if I agree with you mind...

    I believe that all women who have abortions should be executed by firing squad.
    All their accomplices should also be shot.
    If this means we should send drones to kill doctors and nurses in foreign countries then so be it.
    If foreign nations respond by declaring war and lay waste to this country and we all die of famine at least we will all die knowing that Irish babies were not dying in British abortion clinics and that young people being shot down on the streets in defense of the unborn just like the youth of Derry who were shot on Bloody Sunday in protest against internment would die knowing they died in the tradition of the Robert Emmet, Patrick Pearse and Michael Collins.
    No British doctor who kills an Irish baby should escape a bullet.
    Tiocfaidh ár lá!

    Actually, let me address this properly.

    You are making the assumption that I am on thread to try to convert people to my views on abortion. I am not. And I don't much see the point in arguing with people who believe some magic occurs at conception that instantly creates a human being, dividing the woman's right to life in half. This is hocus pocus ****.

    I only appear in these threads to make it clear that there are people who refuse to speak on this issue in reverent, hushed tones even when the speaker is pro choice. There is waaaay too much stigma in this country about abortion, and for people who do need to avail of it, I would prefer they knew they weren't entirely surrounded by lunatics who think a mindless ball of otherwise unviable cells carry the same rights and worth as the woman in question.

    And because I often work a 60 hour week, and some days I have no actual work. That helps.
