That's the establishment's angle IMHO. The other perspective the Repeal camp.

To the mods if I sound facetious I make no apologies. For example, I find it very hard to take seriously any campaign in which a Children's Minister in Government parades around in a Repeal sweatshirt advocating abortion.

It shows how utterly infantile, imbecilic, gullible and narcisstic as a populace we have become.

so the establishment, which is pretty much entirely white in this country, wants to end the white race. well that makes absolutely perfect sense and in now way comes across as totally loony. Not one bit.

Why do a bunch of white guys want to end the white race?

I can't take any pro-life organizations seriously as long as they claim abortion is murder but they don't want to ban women from traveling to have abortions and they don't want the full force of the law (jail time etc) for women who import and use abortion pills.

It shows how utterly gutless they are in relation to protecting the fetus they claim to care so much about. They know calling for a travel ban would turn the public against them.

Its a deep deep shame that you are not passionate about protecting the life of an unborn child.

And it's a deep deep shame that you believe a fetus should possess more rights than a living, breathing woman.

What absolute nonsense. Morality is not law, and law is not morality. Morality is subjective.

We absolutely have the right to act immorally (by some peoples' standards).

Those people are all asses. What value has their opinion? None! You may say morality is subjective but that isn't the fact. There is a higher law, you don't have to call it Gods. Do you not believe in karma/rebirth? What comes around goes around as the saying goes.

well to be fair, he thinks a fetus once it gets on a plane to the UK has no rights at all. Thats why he's ok with women traveling for abortions.

double standards much

What if the aborted foetus was a murderer or child rapist in a previous life? That would be a pickle of a moral dilemma.

Women have the right to reproduce but not the right to kill, or conspire to kill either. We have the right to act morally, not otherwise. If we act immorally we are liable to be punished by the higher law, the laws governing the universe, Gods law. Man's created laws and rights are imperfect or artificial.

Morals are a matter of opinion. I think it is immoral to force someone who doesn't want to be pregnant to be a human incubator.

God doesn't exist so I don't really care about what he thinks.
I'm sure if he were real he'd have interfered during the days of forcing pregnant women into slavery laundries, while nuns sold their babies to rich American couples, laughing all the way to the bank.
We also had the days of pedophile clergymen taking advantage and abusing vulnerable children and calling anyone who spoke out liars.
I won't even start on how appallingly the church treated gay people.

"God" and the RCC has done more damage to citizens of this country than we'll ever be able to fully comprehend.
We have a whole generation of people with lifelong scars from the abuse and trauma they were put through as innocent children.

So don't dare come lecturing me about Gods laws and his punishments when the RCC has brought nothing but fear and misery to our society.

Actually, no I don't, I tend not to believe in things that have never been proven

Do you believe in leprechauns? Fairies? The loch ness monster?

I think we can stop with the whole religion aspect of it now. Your bible states (multiple times) that life begins when someone breathes on their own. Even Adam was not considered alive until he was breathing so even though it does forbid murder (rightly), it does not define a foetus as a living thing.

That is how misguided we have become. Nothing grows without the presence of the soul. No combination of material elements can assume the symptoms of life without the soul. The sperm and eggs combine and the soul enters then the cells begin to multiply. That is Vedic knowledge, superior to your Bible and far older too.

No. It doesn't. And I think we can discuss why without any of your conspiracy theories and anti establishment agenda and issue with overlords and elites.

Quite simply what we are doing as a society is refining what it is we actually value and why. With statistically irrelevant exception we ALL value Human Life, and the lives of Children over all. So all your narratives around some erosion of that value is simply fantasy play.

What we are doing is refining why it is we value those things, and what it even means to value them. And what we are learning from that introspection more and more is that the attributes that gives value to these things, are the attributes that a 12 week old fetus lacks ENTIRELY.

We value the choices, freedoms and well beings of sentience entities. We do not want to curtail such things without good cause. So unless you can establish a basis for why we need to hold moral and ethical concern for a fetus......... then no one else is going to start doing so. Much less at the expense of the ACTUALLY sentient woman whom we do actually value.

I am VERY passionate about protecting the lives of unborn children. I just differ from you as to when that concern comes online. It is later in the process that conception, or implantation or whatever it is has been floating YOUR boat.

But that I differ in WHEN I start to hold that concern, does not mean I do not hold it at all. So you would do well to stop pretending that is the position of pro-choice speakers.

A soul is just a belief,
It cannot and has not been proven,

I can say that rocks have souls, you can't disprove me.

What "higher law" are you referring to and what evidence have you for it's existence? Unless we can substantiate the existence of this "higher law" the the law of humanity ON humanity is the only one we need concern ourselves with.

Define what "soul" is exactly? Where does it come from? How does it get into, say, a plant?

I'm living in Dublin but I've discovered that I'm actually still registered in my home county. I've decided to leave it that way, I reckon my quite conservative home county needs my repeal vote more than Dublin does.

The mar ref just about passed there in 2015.
