The 8th amendment referendum - part 4

Calina · 22-05-2018 09:06PM

The Steen and Sherlock mess ups point at a campaign in disarray. Why did no want to send Steen to RTE tonight and pull her from a confirmed TV3?

I've just heard that Maria Steen has pulled out of the Pat Kenny debate tomorrow night. Toys out of the pram.

Great, I can't stand the woman.

I would think 80% of people have not read the proposals in this referendum, they will simply vote Yes or No but have no clue of the finer details.

We're voting to repeal the 8th, thats it, that is what we are voting on.

If people are unhappy with the legislation then lobby your TD's, thats why you elect them.

You can guarantee that when the 8th is repealed the legislation will be watered down by the likes of FF

Have a feeling the yes campaign will win this referendum.

Harris is to good for the Sinn Fein spokesman-to street wise.

McDermotX · 22-05-2018 09:06PM

Bad few mins for Harris there.

Two thoroughly untrustworthy speakers overall.

BorneTobyWilde · 22-05-2018 09:06PM

Is UK a strange land .

Zardoz · 22-05-2018 09:06PM

The arrogance of Harris is absolutely breathtaking .

I copied and pasted directly from the official report. Verbatim.
The investigation team is aware that clinical circumstances can and have arisen in Ireland where a termination of pregnancy is an appropriate and necessary clinical step in the medical treatment and care of a patient.
Is that what I "believe" he said?
Do you think he lied when he wrote the report?

The world has moved on:

Arulkumaran has also clarified claims around Savita’s death, saying that the Eighth Amendment was a major factor. He refuted claims that sepsis was the only cause of her death, as has been claimed by some during the course of the referendum debate.

Statutory rape up to 17. He answered well.

And those over 17?

Abortion is Ok for 16 year olds but not 18 year old rape victims?

I can see why Simon H became a cabinet minister at 30. Leadership credentials on display here

Do women demand there be abortion?

Apparently so.

For everything else people talk to their doctor about their treatment options and ask for the appropriate medication to treat what ails them.

Women ask for contraception, men ask for viagra, people discuss different anti-depressants

But women demand abortions!

RobertKK · 22-05-2018 09:08PM

21 out of 28 have a liberal regime.

BorneTobyWilde · 22-05-2018 09:08PM

If this was a hair battle we'd know the winner

If you close your eyes its like listening to Ross O'Carroll Kelly debating Dylan Moran.

he question dodged,
But his answer was flawed, so a fetus is NOT equal for girls under 17 so abortion is ok, but the fetus IS equal after 17 years of age?

How does he justify that in his mind. Surely a fetus is ALWAYS equal if you are going to claim its equal.

No tried a cynical bait and switch. Prime Time shut it down. Epic fail.

Harris is wiping the floor with Paedar. He's not tripping over words and concise. Nice one as well to correct Miriam

Care to explain what a "social abortion" is? Or are you just parroting off a new buzzword you just picked up from a pro life website/leaflet?

I don't care to

Effeminate little fellow, Simon Harris.

Is that all you can say. At least he isn't a craven coward like Sherlock.

"Probably many more people when they're wondering who'd turn up to debate...."

RobertKK · 22-05-2018 09:09PM

Simon Harris is losing this by making up things that Peadar Toibin didn't say.

Honestly I always thought he was unable to speak from what I saw, but he's proven me wrong here. I'll hold my hand up and say he's well capable of speaking and he's able for Peader
