    That's an objective set for the No side. Clearly attempting to provoke a natural outraged reaction that will play into the stereotype of so-called "crazy feminists".

    Its working.

    Did I hear her correct, they have entertainment on the show too? Couple of singer song-writers to liven things up...

    That Maria Steen is insufferable.

    Quite typically the No side keep making inaccurate, manipulative comments and then roaring over the Yes side when they try to respond.

    Was nervous about Mary Lou being on the Yes panel but I think she’s doing good so far.

    If it continues in this shouty vein I’ll have to turn off though. Yes can’t get a word in edgeways. It’s very frustrating to watch.

    Cop onto yourself will you, it's a vote to repeal the 8th amendment and bring in legislation regarding it.

    "Social abortion" - how little do you think of women? Honestly? Disgusting thing to say.

    It is. Cooler heads need to prevail. Well timed ad break for the Yes side there.

    Nothing to do with Yes or No, that's just the way she is, a ****ty person. Take a look at her Twitter or Facebook and you'll see it's got nothing to do with the topic. She ridiculously posted on Facebook a while ago giving out about Varadkar because he was wearing a coat at some event and the fact it was expensive FFS.

    Steen's fake compassion won't be picked up on by the Undecided. The Yes side shouldn't get provoked by her sneaky manipulation.

    Sure thats the tactic, its all they got. Brid shouldnt have shrieked 'liar' at her, just deal with the points and let Maria dig her own holes

    Why is it that the no side are not clamouring for the law as it stands on abortion to be enforced? If the taking of abortion pills or assisting in procuring pills is punishable by 14 years in prison, why has it not been enforced? If a crime is committed, it should be investigated and prosecuted.

    It's because it would be inconvenient to their cause and it would expose their double standard in condemning a woman's right to choose while not facing up to the consequences of that choice when balanced against the law as it stands.

    I think Brid Smith is usually decent but she is dragging down the YES side so far.

    Never thought I'd ask to hear more from the lawyers. All speaking well.

    I recognise the doctor in the audience that spoke on the late late show, he looks like he’s about to blow a gasket at the crap the No side is saying, he looks furious!

    Who is the one on the no side with the glasses? She has a weird and quite evil grin on her face constantly. Surely not her normal face.

    Another way of making abortion seem like a fun girl's day out. No respect for the woman involved or the circumstances that led her to that decision.

    How do you know the babies are healthy?

    How do you know the mothers are?
