    I don't agree with abortion aside from the 'hard cases'.

    So, how can you vote for something you don't agree with? We all know abortions increase when it's legislated for, it changes the culture. Drink driving is unacceptable now socially, but it was only in the very recent past where it was rampant.

    But, I don't agree that a woman shouldn't have bodily autonomy and integrity either.

    So....what to do?

    Unless you agree with the current legislation, which only allows for terminations in the case of a substantial risk to life, and not in any other circumstances, then vote yes.

    A half way measure will not be put forward if this referendum fails. It will simply be a case of wait 5 years and go again. It's not going to go away, we should repeal the eight and allow women compassionate care in Ireland.

    Do the "No" side see Ronan Mullen as an asset to their campaign?

    If you don't know vote yes and let them decide for themselves

    Why are some on the No side giving the impression that abortion will be compulsory come Saturday morning.

    Because fear mongering and manipulation is what the No campaign is based on.

    If it's low and suits your opinion it's permissible.

    I have lost all respect for Pat Kenny. His duty is to be an unbiased facilitator of this debate but he is utterly ABUSING his platform to express his own personal pro choice agenda. PAT YOU ARE A DISGRACE!
