How do Pro Life campaigners want women who have abortions punished?

The legal framework would hopefully be based on science. Where the line is set for fetal viability is not an answer I have. For me, in a situation like you describe, the woman's right to choose would outweigh that of the fetus.

Why is less of a murder in your eyes if a fetus is the result of a rape? Odd level of moral gymnastics there.

You're saying abortions are mandatory? They're not, but may be necessary in rare circumstances.

I raised this point earlier and got vile dog's abuse. Good to see that not everyone is as bad and acknowledges that it's one of the areas that should be up for discussion as it has its own set of circumstance and is not avoidable (mind you I'd gladly support the death penalty for those who do this).

I have never had a vote on abortion in Ireland and recently I found I'm not the most extreme either so I disagree

See? That's about 3 things we agree completely on! Discussion is good!

Probably agree on others too ha

Give the child up if you don't want it (could we have a vote to give married couples the right to have a child adopted?) but at least give it a chance, I wasn't supposed to be able to walk and talk I can do both.

There is a world of difference between what you describe and conditions like Downs or other serious congenital defects.

I have a condition that usually results in serious consequences and serious disability. How many have been aborted because of the diagnosis that could have been mostly fine like me?

That's an entirely different situation. The child is a citizen with full rights. As to the parents, they then have responsibilities towards said child.

If you've seen people pay more than 1000 for dental treatment then they're not in financial difficulty. You are very fortunate to have so little understanding that you can't understand how a woman could financially break herself in this situation.

Likewise if the child is born and only then discovered to have disabilities why should the parents be forced into a life of hardship against their wishes if it is easily avoidable.

Because at that stage it is a child and has rights, none of which impact on bodily integrity.

I'd be right there campaigning with you for that one - it was news to me and I think it's a disgrace!

What scenario are you trying to build? I don't know the hypothetical legal framework surrounding abortion in your scenario.

Either permit the abortion or induce the mother and do what you can with the fetus.

He's trying to use emotional scenarios and language to evoke a response from you, it's what the pro life side do best.

Childrens homes for the disabled..hardly ideal

I have voted for people who would in reality allow the referendum because they would generally do more good than bad. It's not the single deciding factor in who I would vote for.

Good. And apologies for misjudging you based on only your previous posts.

When are they allowing it so that we can put this to bed once and for all ?

No it's fine you can only judge on what's in front of you.
I don't know when it's allowed but I know I'll be fine once I get a vote cus the current laws are not something women who can currently get pregnant have had a vote on

Is said fetus viable independent of its mother?

Why is it wrong? Do you feel a life of difficulty and suffering for all involved is morally superior?

Only the government can stop a referendum??? Wouldn't matter what I think we will have one when they allow it. Or have I magically vetoed something without knowing??

Why does it matter to you if a woman has an abortion in Ireland instead of going to England for it?
