Mary Lou talking sense. Particularly about the stupid clapping.

All the yes side have is the very small % of hard cases, and they keep going back to it over and over

Even if there were just 1 hard case each year, the 8th should be repealed to acommodate that 1 woman.
Even one woman suffering is too much. We all know it’s a lot more than that though.

Yep.

They just hide it behind the "care about the babies!!" curtain.

If they really did "Love Both", they'd be focusing on what's around the uterus, not just what's inside it.

Mary Lou calling out the clapping ....doing Claire's job for her

how exactly is that social abortion?
needs explaining

I’m calling major BS there. The published stats make no comment on the health or otherwise of the pregnant women or foetus. 1 in 6 pregnancies miscarries. They are NOT healthy pregnancies. But you can’t know whether that would have occurred or not if the pregnancy has terminated early. Nor do you have ANY knowledge on the health of the mother in the stats. **** off suggesting it’s 97%.

Big mis-step from Ronan Mullen, offered to bargain for the hard cases, their numbers must be showing they are ****ed.

Shelga · 14-05-2018 10:26PM

‘Hard cases’? What it comes down to is, some the No side think a foetus conceived via rape can be aborted, but a woman who has consensual sex should be punished. Such utter hypocrisy. This programme is making me so angry.

AllForIt · 14-05-2018 10:26PM

Getting a bit peeved with this Abortion 'on demand' terminology. It's the moral issue that matters to me. Either it's morally right or it isn't so if one wants an abortion for some serious health issue OR they want one simply because they don't want to be a parent, then that doesn't matter to me when it's comes to providing for it.

What do the no side have?

Other than lies, misrepresentation of statements/statistics/reports, sneaky tactics and an overwhelming tendency to ignore everything that refutes their bizarre claims.

He has changed his tune. A few years ago he showed complete disrespect to the TFMR families.

Exactly! The Yes side are not rebutting this point at all. Very disappointing.

Peter Boylan massive mis-step there! Do not mansplain in this debate

CptMackey · 14-05-2018 10:31PM

Dr boylen schooling the Iona lady Steen.

KaneToad · 14-05-2018 10:31PM

Peter Boylan scoring very high on the condescending meter. Mary Lou should be allowed talk more...

ricero · 14-05-2018 10:32PM

No side winning this debate so far. Some of the yes side speakers have been very poor.

KaneToad · 14-05-2018 10:33PM

Audience whooping now. Embarrassing.

frag420 · 14-05-2018 10:33PM

..

14-05-2018 10:33PM

so, what actual points have the no side made?

eviltwin · 14-05-2018 10:33PM

This is farcical, treating such a serious issue as panto. I don't like seeing my experience treated like this, I'm out.

She's rotten to the core... A woman high on her own self esteem who has spent her whole life looking down her snout at everyone around her.

She certainly does have a rather pompous demeanour about herself. However I'm willing to put that aside and listen to her arguments.
