The 8th amendment(Mod warning in op)

RobertKK

The citizens assembly voted to replace or amend the 8th amendment.

50% voted to replace or amend
44% voted to repeal
Rest preferred to not state an opinion

Now deciding how it will be replaced or amended
: Let the Dail legislate on the rights of the unborn
: Amend the provision in the constitution.

Meltdown on twitter by Repealthe8th people.

Mod- This thread has descended in to petty name calling. We've tried to let this thread run without too much mod interference but now it's on our radar we will be watching. From here on the name calling stops. If you can't debate civilly we will remove your right to post.

All the footage I’ve seen is of the speakers so far. It’s certainly very noisy. I’ll just see it on the 6 news.
I’m pressing Dav because hes insisting 7000 but has shown no evidence of that.

There’s one from the stage.
So apparently you can fit 100k from there to the dáil which you can see in the background.

just imo

Pretty amusing spot that highlights some of the dodgy tactics the save the eighth gang have engaged in. Assume Splinter will be similarly outraged as he was with the jumpers photos.

It’s a few more then 7000 though Dav. Your man from the communist party is not good at counting, but accuracy is not nor never was, their strong point.

HERes a pic of a world record attempt in exactly the same spot. 3567 people.

In the marriage referendum, no one wanted to murder innocent unborn children.

No they just wanted to keep gay and lesbian couples from adopting the innocent babies. Adopting babies that resulted from unwanted pregnancies. Babies that were brought to term and put up for adoption just like people are now suggesting women should do instead of terminating.

I’m not getting it.
A girls shown up for repeal calling for abortions for terminally ill babies.
Is she looking for the option to abort the baby or to make abortions mandatory ?
Poor signage, not clear.

She's now acting as steward at today's Anti-Abortion march, as can be clearly seen in the tweet I just posted.

Maybe she just really really enjoys marches about abortion?

Well, the photo was from the pro choice march last year but there she is at the march for life..... She was literally a plant for pro lifers to complain about last year.

No, she's just another liar. Like the guy who was passing out posters with an old British Fascist Party logo on them at the Women's Day march yesterday:

Maybe she went on a journey like Simon Harris,Micheal Martin, Leo Varadkar but in the opposite direction.
Or is it ok for them to change their mind?

She’s a pro lifer up to no good. Here she is holding the orange sign outside the dail this week

See, none of this is actually true as she was confirmed as a plant at the time. She didn't have a damascus moment. She was identified at the time as a member of pro life groups. Disgraceful isn't it?

So it's purely a coincidence that she chose such deliberately inflammatory language for her 'pro-choice' poster?

"Abortion for terminally ill babies"

Yeah, that's a completely normal, non-crazy slogan, along with

'I hate babies - Legalize Abortion NOW!
and
'I LOVE ABORTIONS!!! - why should I have to travel to have one?!"

Edit: Just saw above, so she's a known, long-term Youth Defencer - seems like lying and mud-slinging are perfectly moral and ethical when you think you have the moral high ground.

jesus

thats pretty damning stuff

ive a general maxim that people active in campaigning to tell voters what to think are weirdos who presume far too much about their own opinion

but behaviour like uncovered in the last few posts should be of interest to the gardai. profoundly subversive and antidemocratic

shame on any prolifer in this thread who wouldnt disavow it

pleas advice

old news, I thought this was from the other day

Oldtree

Rte, The Journal and Independent all reporting tens of thousands marched today.

Times reporting thousands. Times have posted a video of the thousands.

Well here she is back in 2015 on RTE speaking for the 'pro-life' movement. So she was pro-life in 2015... then pro-choice (with very extreme views if her sign is anything to go by) in 2016 and then back to pro-life in 2018 and a steward at the march? I doubt it very very much. She's there from 1.06

Rte now down to "in excess of 15,000 with no official figures", changed their article in the last 4 minutes.

Edit: but not the heading of the article.
"Tens of thousands"

Incredibly stupid stunt though. If her sign got the media attention it was designed to, someone would surely recognize her...
