    Of course because dogs are living breathing beings. Silly question.

    I think this is called baiting and is against the rules on boards.

    I think this is called personal abuse and is against the rules on boards.

    Also I think taking the lords name in vain might be against the rules as a Christian.

    Nope. I'm talking about Ireland here, others can talk about other countries all they like, doesn't make a jot of difference.

    Since you're the one looking for links can you please show me one that backs up your emphatic statement that this test will be routinely available in Ireland?
    Why will it not?

    Were going to have unlimited abortion up to 12 weeks ... and probably well beyond 12 weeks, (in line with the recommendations of the Citizens Assembly for 22 weeks) once the dust settles, if the 8th is repealed.

    Quote:-
    "The (gender) tests are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration because they are not used for medical purposes, a spokeswoman said, but the agency is investigating the explosion of home genetic tests like these and genome-sequencing kits."

    "The new study found that to be reliable, the sex-determination tests had to be performed after at least seven weeks of gestation. Most tests that were highly accurate were conducted on a mother’s blood, not urine. And certain rigorous laboratory procedures had to be followed. For the blood tests, women prick their fingers and send blood samples to labs. If the Y chromosome is detected, the fetus is male. Absence of a Y chromosome would probably mean the fetus is female, but could mean that fetal DNA was not found in that sample."

    Of course, this could never happen in Ireland ... NOT!!

    I am not taking the Lord's name in vain. I am invoking the Lord's name to enlighten you.

    ... I have also given them the option of withdrawing their unfounded ad hominem allegation.

    By their silence they have shown that they were lying about me.

    You want a link to the future? Buy a DeLorean :pac:
    BTW I said if the 8th was repealed these tests would become available here, so there are still a few hurdles to cross.

    You don't need a DeLorean ...according to the New York Times, these are available as home tests, like pregnancy tests ... as well as being routinely used by Europen doctors ... so, the future is apparently right here right now.

    The 8th never banned genetic testing ... and its used routinely nowadays in Ireland.

    where did I lie about the Citizens Assembly recommendations?.

    When you continued to maintain that "the Citizens Assembly recomended no gestational time limit for situation where "in cases of foetal abnormality that is not likely to result in death before or shortly after birth" after I had pointed out to you that the Assembly's recommendation did include a gestational limit.

    Not silent. Just not at your beck and call. Also not lying, but don't worry, I'm not going to make a big melodrama of your "scurrilous accusations".

    As much right as a poll on a boards.ie thread.

    Please note I was talking about the Citizens Assembly recommendations (and not the Oireachtas Committee's recommendations).
    Is this quote from the Oirechtas Committe Report correct:-
    "2.32 The Citizens Assembly recommended that termination of pregnancy should be lawful, up to 22 weeks gestation, in cases of foetal abnormality that is not likely to result in death before or shortly after birth without gestational limit."

    ... and if it is, I'm correct in my contention that "the Citizens Assembly recomended no gestational time limit for situation where "in cases of foetal abnormality that is not likely to result in death before or shortly after birth."

    ... and I wasn't therefore lying.

    this is irrelevant waffle. nothing to do with the debate and it never even came up in the ssm referendum which it's obvious you are refering to. there is a massive difference between both referendums. they are not comparible.

    Rampant, unprotected sex all night? What sort of behaviour is that? Have you any respect for your partner?

    The Citizens Assembly (CA) cannot decide that something which is morally wrong ... is right ... but I wouldn't ignore their recomendations ... just because of this.
    They were put together in the first place, to make recommendations that would be acted upon.

    So ... even if the current proposals are a watered-down version of what the CA recommended ... it is highly likely that their recommendations will be acted upon, in their entirety, when the dust settles, if the 8th is repealed.

    Of course it is. Because it was a set up from the start. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It has no relevance to morality.

    Up to 22 weeks gestation.

    Up to 22 weeks gestation.

    Up. To. 22. Weeks. Gestation.

    And when we look at the outcome of the CA's Ballot on the matter (Reason 11), which term limit has the most support? 22 weeks.

    You kept saying it was without limit, even after it was shown to you that it had. Ergo, lying.

    It has no relevance to morality ... but it their very radical proposals are very relevant to people who are deciding which way to vote on the 8th.
