The 8th Amendment Part 2 - Mod Warning in OP

The ones that make light of the situation, and claim that people will be running around, having 2 abortions a day, and claiming pregnancies are a mere inconvenience is the PLC.

Some of the people here have been through pregnancies, easy and hard ones, have been through miscarriage, have been through abortions, and can still separate emotion from logic and reasoning.

I am currently pregnant. I went for my 12 week scan this week and I’m not ashamed to say that I cried when I saw my baby on the screen, wriggling about the place.

And i’m still pro-choice.

I want this baby, and I have wanted a baby for years. But if everything goes pear shaped it is horrifying to that my country doesn’t have my back.

When my OH asked what I was nervous about I could see his expression change when I said ‘that something will be wrong and there will be nothing they can do because it still has a faint heartbeat and i’ll have to keep going back for scan after scan to check if it’s dead yet because we can’t afford to go to the UK’.

I shouldn’t have to worry about this kind of thing. NO woman should have to worry about this. We should be able to have confidence that ‘something is badly wrong’ will be followed by ‘these are the options you have’, and to actually have options other than ‘nothing’ or ‘England’.

To be fair that poster was going in circles and derailing debate as much as possible. And further, earlier in the thread we had a self proclaimed ‘national socialist’ who was a Nazi enthusiast by the looks of the links he gave us.
It’s hard to have an open debate or discussion when people come in with such an extreme agenda and refuse to listen. Really good contributiors to the thread have been banned from the thread for reacting to these people. They were looking for that reaction too.
So following several reminders from mods, if we think someone is trolling or a re reg, report them rather than engaging and reacting to them.

That is appropriate action rather than allowing them hijack the discussion by goin in circles arguing with them.

I hate seeing posters banned. Even for abuse. The way I see it is its the internet, don't get upset. If someone is resorting to name calling then their argument lacks merit. I got called a murderer earlier, a double murderer in fact. And I don't care. If that's what someone thinks of me, cool. They can judge away. I wouldn't report them for it.

There was a poster earlier who got upset because others called BS on his anecdote and accused him of hypocrisy. I mean, seriously. Too much emotion.

I realise that some posters don't engage and simply repeat the same thing over and over again and that can be frustrating for those that actually want to discuss the issue. Their posts/arguments are usually torn to shreds quickly and frequently and I like to think it must be embarrassing for them to keep coming back simply to get their arse handed to them again and again.

I do understand that there are standards to be maintained here and that by getting rid of some of the posts/posters it helps the discussion and keeps it moving. I like hearing both sides of an argument. Sometimes it confirms my opinion, other times it helps me form an opinion and occasionally it changes my opinion. I just hate the idea that people might mistakenly think they are being silenced because of their opinion rather than their style.

Also I'm very suspicious of the Mods on here. We all know they are power hungry, wannabe Donald Trumps, willing to ban anyone who disagrees with them I'm watching you!!

I really hope the referendum is defeated so I sit back and watch the leftist loonies meltdown on Twitter; it will be up there with the leftist fallout after Trump was elected.

"Hooray, women being denied proper medical care!1!"

You hope to take pleasure from social media comments from people of the opposite view to you while Irish women continue to suffer. Christ.

I don't know which is nastier - being a sociopath and thus incapable of feeling empathy for other people, or thinking it is clever and funny to pretend to be a sociopath.

I was just pretending to be a misogynist to trigger all the wimmens because I find that so funny because I am a misogynist.

Wait, no...
