    My point is that Gemma linked to a story about a doctor (allegedly) being willing to break a baby's neck.
    There is nothing 'crazy' about objecting to this.

    The source of the story does not interest me as we know that this type of thing does indeed happen IE Dr Kermit Gosnell.
    So again there is nothing whatsoever 'crazy' about objecting to the deliberate breaking of a baby's neck.


    Can we just confirm that the official policy for failed abortions IS NOT BREAKING THE BABY'S NECK!!

    I'm not specifically pro choice or anything but this type of rubbish needs to be stated.

    Not quite sure how to copy the tweet over like above. Now she's accusing Leo of descending into madness.....

    What's crazy about it?

    If the allegation in the link is true (not saying it is) then most rational humans would consider breaking a living baby's neck to be 'crazy'
    It's not as far fetched as you may think.
    Have you heard of Kermit Gosnell?

    Okay, I'll bite.

    Did you click the link? No doctor is quoted. An unnamed patient is quoted as quoting a doctor. On a random website called endoftheamericandream.com. Are you beginning to see why we're not taking this seriously?

    Now, aside from that. The question this anonymous patient asked was what would happen a baby born alive at 22 weeks. While it's extremely unlikely any baby could survive at 22 weeks, the doctor would have legal and ethical obligations to do everything in their power to keep that baby alive.

    There is nowhere in America where it is in any way legal to break a living baby's neck. There is no evidence of it happening.

    That's why we call Gemma a crazy person for propagating these lies from conspiracy websites.

    I stated in the comment that I was not saying that the allegation was true. Any Internet search does say the allegation comes from an 'unnamed source' which obviously means the story is completely unprovable.
    However as I said this type of allegation is far from a fantasy. The case of Dr Kermit Gosnell is one example of the deliberate murder of living babies. So these kind of things do happen.
    It is neither crazy to suggest that this happens nor it is it crazy to object to it.

    It is crazy to say that it's state policy and to imply its legal. So stop trying to be a devil's advocate of stupidity.

    You know who you should put these concerns to? Ob/Gynae Consultants working in the maternity hospitals in Ireland. Could you let me know when you're going to do it? It'd be nice to watch.

    You're defending an extremely outlandish allegation. Particularly the extrapolation on the made up story, that it's also going to happen here in Ireland.

    I admit that her assertion that doctors will break babies necks in Ireland is nothing but speculation without any basis in fact. She doesn't know this and should not make this claim.
    But the claim that it happens elsewhere is not outlandish as it has in fact happened already.

    I never stated that all medicine was bad.

    It has never, ever been state policy anywhere in the US to break a healthy, living baby's neck. That's what Gemma is claiming and it's not true.

    What is the official policy though?
    I'm open to correction but I believe it is that the doctor can leave the baby to die on the operating table if they wish, and that there is no requirement for palliative care or any type of pain relief. This in itself (if true) is utterly barbaric.

    She claimed that one doctor stated that he would usually break the baby's neck, not that it was official policy.

    The root of Gemmas concerns (and mine and many others) is the belief that the state has plans to sell the body parts of abortion victims. (or foetus if that's what you believe)
    The body part industry is a massive and extremely lucrative business.

    Kate O Connell recently erupted with righteous indignation over the idea that the remains of abortion procedures be given respectful burials or cremations. Her position was that it would cause the Mother undue distress. But I believe the real reason for her indignation was that the state has plans to sell the body parts.
    Of course I have no proof of this yet but if it is the case then the truth probably emerge it will be very difficult to hide.
    If it is not the case then I will hold my hands up and admit I was wrong.

    And neither do they. So why are you repeating an entirely baseless belief?

    Why should anyone take her concerns seriously?
    Given she’s nuttier than a squirrel latrine, any topic no matter how valid will be ignored.

    Yes I did, planned parenthood is a private organisation, they may receive a portion of funding from the state but their policies are not official federal state policies.

    Okay, you're a conspiracy theorist. Makes much more sense.

    No, there is no lucrative business in pre-natal organs, which are not in any way developed enough to transplant or use for whatever mad scientist plot you're cooking up in your head.

    When a woman miscarries, we don't bury or cremate the remains. For the most part, there won't be any remains. It's a heavy period.

    Of course you have no evidence for it, it's a completely bizarre crackpot theory.

    I love this attempt to seem reasonable as you propagate completely insane stories with no basis.

    People speculate about and predict the future direction of government policy all the time. It is entirely normal to do so.

    Yes, but people usually speculate rationally and using facts.

    Worth remembering that Auntie believes that QAnon and Pizzagate was credible at one point, as much of a conspiracy theorist at Gemma.

    I have never once mentioned the word Pizzagate nor have I made any reference to it and I clearly stated that I believed Q Anon at the very beginning and soon after realised it was a hoax.
    Your misrepresentation of my posts in fact damages your own credibility in my eyes.

    Okay, so you just thought QAnon was credible... You should probably be more concerned about your own credibility.

    Will you ever shut the fock up about stuff you don't now about. The vast majority of abortions will be performed at less than 12 weeks using 2 sets of tablets given to the mother and the mother will go home to perform the task.

    This rubbish about the state selling body parts is absolute excrement.

    You realise those links discuss the ethics of using foetal material with consent for medical research? Not governments stealing and selling foetuses to the highest bidder.
