She also became a Christian and found forgiveness in Jesus Christ, for what she did. If she can be forgiven (and she was) ... everybody can.

He was pretty clear about that in some book he left lying around. You also don’t care about everybody. If you did truly, the welfare of the mother comes first and no argument. You’re all fighting against this argument. Further, imposing your faith on many women who either no longer are of your faith or never was part of your faith, is completely wrong and also against the rules of your faith.

I’d love to see it. Surely with their considerable fundraising abilities and media reach we would have heard at least one pro life campaign member take some time to talk about their tireless efforts and naturally disclose the amount they had raised to help?
david75 wrote: » There is no liberal agenda. If there is can you point me towards a manifesto or mission statement? Are they an organised group? No? There is however a redundant dead faith and it’s few remaining minions saying that their rights and beliefs are of more importance in law than a woman’s right to bodily autonomy and self determination. We have a few months of this ahead and it’s like you guys are playing silly buggers and endless hysteria, while the entire rest of the country looks on rolling their eyes and wondering when you’ll all realise. (Eg. Thousands of Women are stillgoing to have abortions post ref, pass or fail. You guys don’t seem to realise that. It’ll still happen. You’re playing the wrong game completely) By then It will be too late.

Nuns stealing babies and selling them? You at least acknowledge it’ll be totally hollow ‘victory’ for the no campaign and continuously damaging the women of Ireland. They will continue to have abortions and in growing numbers. We could force the 5-10,000 Women a year to have the babies and take them off them. Then get our state which is doing such a great job looking after the children already here and families in emergency accommodation to make homes for them. New orphanages. Maybe even keep them there all their lives under cruel conditions never allowed leave and no access to health care or education in the real world. Throw them in a sewer if they’re too sick to be of any use. Make them be our her generation of priest and nun factories. Ill gotten children redeemed and come to save us all. Im sure I’ve heard all this before in some mad story I read. I can’t for the life of me remember where. Oh yeah. Ireland. The last century.

We now have no clerical scapegoats left in the Roman Catholic Church to heap all of the sins of out society onto ... so we will have to face up to these sins ourselves alone. ... and start taking positve steps to support women in crisis pregnancies ... and to offer really positve options for her and her child ... rather than the 'council of despair' that abortion truly is.

Said a forced birther to a pro choicer No. YOU will have to grow up and accept the reality of abortion (the rest of the country had decades ago) Positive steps to helping women in crisis pregnancy would involve presenting all available medical and psychological and financial options and advice and ongoing counselling in either decision, unbiased and unfettered. So you guys are COMPLETELY out of the picture already
