Mandatory abortions too.

And post birth abortions.

Women of Ireland we've done ourselves proud, and to all the gentlemen who voted yes, thank you for caring about us.

I don't see how men voting "no" somehow implies they don't care about women.

Everyone has different opinions on social issues particularly emotive ones.

In fact I wouldn't like to be conceived/born/live in any country on list A because there would be a reasonable prospect of not being allowed to exist. That's fairly logical don't you think.

I'd choose perhaps the one country where i'd have the best chance of avoiding being aborted, surviving until birth and living a reasonably prosperous life. In other words Ireland as it currently stands.

So you would prefer to have been born in Somalia than the UK.

Yeah... I definitely believe you and I definitely you believe that too. :pac:

I’m dying of cancer and thought I’d be long gone by the time Ireland legalised abortion. Looks like I’ll live to see it! I’m so glad I didn’t die before seeing this seismic change. And the fact that it was so emphatic is the cherry on top.

Some of the nonsense things ppl say, Kay Burly was reading out comments one of which was 'at last equal rights for women'. I didn't know Irish men were allowed to have abortions.

Billy I feel neither of us will concede on this and its also a bit repetitive and I hate when that happens on a thread.

I'd ask you and others to read this. Its quite interesting.

If you think abortion in some of these countries represents civilisation fair enough. But I disagree.

That's my last post on the topic.

Is there anything in the constitution controlling mens reproductive organs?

Just saw a report on BBC from Dublin Castle..

Some old gob****e with a guitar singing "Don't you know talking about a referendum sounds like a whisper".

If I have to listen to much more of this I will be aborting myself!!

Actually I’m not even pregnant and I’m planning an abortion. I hear they’re all the rage. Will I pick you up one while I’m there?

I'm well aware of that but when the alternative is teenage girls being sent to prison for 30 years for potentially abortion a rape baby (which was also potentially a miscarriage), I know which I would consider the lesser of two evils, and so do 2/3rds of the Irish voting public.

I also know which company I would rather avoid living in on an average between the three lists of countries given, and I suspect almost all would agree. So I guess we'll just have to leave it there.

You really have to be the most condescending horrible person on this thread. Others are posting fake facts and nonsense but every one of your posts has this pervasive theme of 'every baby is at risk of being aborted'. It really is disgusting. And dont even attempt to deny it, what else would you mean by 'best chance of avoiding being aborted'.

Then you have the audacity to criticise other peoples reactions on here when you are constantly provoking. You seem like a horrible person.

I'll ask the question again because it appears some don't want to answer it.

So the government can now legislate for "Abortion for Convenience" up to 12 weeks?

It can or it can't? It will legislate without restrictions to 12 weeks?

That's all I want to know.

Thanks.

If men could get pregnant the 8th would never have existed.

there is no mention of "Abortion for Convenience" in the heads of the bill published so probably not.
