Acting on conscience in any matter is utterly stupid and reductive.

If I had a shop and refused to sell to catholics or muslims because I have a sincerely held belief that they were both intrinsically evil and disordered, I’d be well within my rights in terms of belief but I’d be keel hauled in the media and the courts.
Then we go to medicine.
Sincerely held beliefs have no place whatsoever in medicine.

Many families in the Mormon faith have allowed their own children die because organ transplant and blood donation is strictly against their sincerely held beliefs.

So where are you on that? you really want to bring sincerely held beliefs and faith into this with regards doctors?

And I'm sure the Nazi soldiers left their consciences at the door of the camps before they slaughtered millions. Just look where that got us. The defence of "just following orders" didn't stand up

I find them ridiculous and pointless in your CONSTANT lame attempts to use emotional blackmail in this thread.

There is no emotional blackmail ... just anatomically correct images of 12 week old unborn children ... the fact that you react by scoffing at there images show that you too can see the undoubted humanity of these little children.

Such amazing lighting and perfect composition.

How in the world did they do it??

Strange how does every pregnant woman in the World ends up with a scratchy black and white 2D screengrab from an ultrasound yet pro life campaign can afford such wonderful nat geo quality pics of the feotus in utero.

Oh wait. The pic above is actually a computer generated image!!??? digital lies!!

Lies!!!

I think I'll take getty images word over it, one of the largest photo library's in the world, before I take yours.

Pretty much confirms what we suspected.

Watch this one be hushed up and glossed over as well. Only 16 counties in Ireland were represented by the Citizens Assembly as well. That's what happens when you have an un-democratically chosen, un-elected assembly put together by a private PR firm.

A fetus is an unborn child and a human life. Even the pro abortion leader Varadkar has corrected people on that. And in addition to the article below, you can listen to the recent interview with him on RTE radio, where he says when talking about abortion, a fetus and unborn child are the one and the same.

So you can use the term fetus all day long, but no one is going to be fooled that it's not a human life / baby /unborn child.

Grasping at straws. Red c only use population centres that have a broad range of age and economic backgrounds. Its called demographics.

Look it up.

As for a doctors conscience preventing them providing medical care to their patients,i think you said it best

Some of the absolute nonsense and fear mongering you see here and elsewhere would have you believe women want to be able to put an axe in its head the moment it’s born if it suits them. Just nonsense.

Late term abortions only happen when women can’t have access to medical care and have to save to get away to England. That can often lead to feotus becoming baby.

So in effect our current law is actually shockingly inhumane and cruel on the mother and inutero occupant.

Yet here’s people looking to maintain that law. Insane.

no fear mongering has taken place on the pro-life side. the pro-life side have given some possibilities and potentials, based on the reality that the abortion issue is long term rather then short term. one has to think of the long term rather then the short term.
our laws in relation to abortion are only inhumain and cruel for those who need medical abortions, they are not inhumain or cruel toards those who want abortion on demand for lifestyle, convenience or contraceptive reasons. the law we have makes it some bit difficult to procure abortion, and is likely deterring and stoping some from procuring it. no law is 100% effective but if it stops a small few abortions from happening, then it's worth it.

Not an answer to my question.

You're suggesting that the limit with be revised upwards.

Working with that premise, what makes you think that women will wait later into the pregnancy because of the new limit? Why wouldn't they just continue to use abortion pills/ have abortions before 12 weeks?

Do you have an actual reason that you communicate or are you attempting to scaremonger those who may be okay with abortions <12 weeks?

for me it's about covering all possibilities however remote they may be. we cannot rule out the time limit being revised upwards in the aim of removing any and all reasons for women having to travel to the uk, should the 8th be repealed. it's important in my view that everything in relation to abortion is put forward because should the 8th be repealed, that will be the last opportunity to stop it from being introduced.

The only way to choose a representative assembly by Sortition ... is by an independently monitored and publicly held lottery based on the electoral register.

Because they have the broadest range of ages and incomes.

If I go to rural Leitrim I’m only going to encounter 50+ kid income level farmer not well educated and not well travelled or experienced.

If I go to cork or Galway I’m going to find a range of lifestyles and educations and incomes and can then compile an accurate poll

You clearly don’t have the vaguest notion on how polling works sweetie. Don’t go there until you’ve read up on it even a little bit.

Personally, I use the phrase unborn, because it's what's in the 8th that you think we should keep. That way anti-repealers can't use faux outrage to distract from the discussion.

I just thought it was interesting that even though you cited Getty Images, you specifically didn't use the term they used. Most likely because it didn't suit your agenda.

exactly the same apart from the seperated fingers and toes, better developed facial features, lack of translucent skin and the fact it was made to look like its sucking its thumb.

Why not use the actual image from now on?

Can a Christian vote for unlimited abortion?
