    Just checked on twitter and Ronan Mullen is trending an hour and a half after pat Kennys show ended. That remark he made has backfired badly on him and the NO campaign.

    I’m just reading through this I’ve little idea who the people are but the name calling of people’s appearance is just petty.
    It reminds me of people bringing up trumps hand size all the time.
    It’s very rambunctious.

    The demographic disaster, the islamization and terror of Europe, the fertility crisis, the impending pensions timebomb, all caused by feminism and the contraceptive pill, plus the degenerate consumerism behaviour of modern society where women are refusing to bring children into the world. Germany and Sweden will both be minority’s in their own countries soon, they will be sorry when the minority majority turns on them and liberalism goes to the window in favour of genocide.

    Go outside. Pick some flowers. Take a walk along a beach. Pet a dog while eating an ice cream. It’s not all bad pal, it really isn’t.

    They need them for when one of their loved ones can't get the treatment they need here because of the 8th.

    God I missed it as I was working how did he do?

    Twisted and turned and wriggled as Matt tried to pin him down on what should happen a twelve year old girl who had been raped.
    Another of those neanderthals who would make her endure a pregnancy. :mad:

    Yes because he called out false facts? he did it to both sides



    can't wait to see what you post here after it's passed

    I'll be waiting in the long grass to remind you of the above statement

    He’s a neonazi, he’ll skulk off back to his YouTube echo chamber until the next time he has a chance to misrepresent an important issue to force people to listen to nonsense they’d never willingly listen to, like “abortion is a genocide on white Irish people”. He can **** off back to YouTube as far as I’m concerned, good riddance.

    The Unborn doesn't have a "robust" legal right - the 13th removed that. Now all it has is the legal right to be terminated in another jurisdiction.

    There would be even more people walking around if we made contraception illegal again. Would you be in favour of that?

    Well the unborn have a better legal right with the 8th than if it was removed... you have to admit that at least?

    No, I would not be in favour of making contraception illegal btw.

    The modern equivalent of the Laundries and Homes. As long as it cannot be seen then it means it doesn't exist. Fantasists and dangerous ones at that.

    Which is superironic because they are literally neonazis!

    The poster Bella Bella gave her reasons this afternoon for voting No in a very unprovocative way. She (I presume) was aggressively attacked in a post with asterisked words by Sugar Barley above. A bullying tone that even had people who agreed with him on the referendum annoyed. He (I presume) badgers people with rude posts to reply to him.

    The absolute irony of his Nazi slurs.

    Let me just state clearly that Ronan Mullen is worthy of our respect and support REGARDLESS of what he’s done!


    Hahahahahaha he’ll never live that down.

    As i've stated before, i believe it is absolutely horrible to pit an entire gender against humanity itself. Do you not value that you were afforded a safe passage into this life? I am immensely grateful that i was afforded that passage and that i was nurtured and cared for so that i enjoy the freedoms i enjoy today and the liberation to smile (and suffer!) and feel the entire spectrum of human emotions and human being. I was ALLOWED all of this. You were allowed all of this too. Every single person reading and participating in this thread was allowed this... Now some people may argue that this is not very important, that it is simply 'consequential', but i believe in consequence, i believe in what in we know. I believe in the sanctity of life. I don't subscribe to fatalism. I hope. I don't use fear as a horrible weapon. I live. It is fúcking beautiful. All of us are fúcking beautiful. Anyone who is reading this, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Let your individuality shine. There is no one like you. You are absolutely unique. Live, and, let, live

    It's like a ****ing mental illness:D:D

    Says the guy/gal who misrepresents what another poster says in another thread in an effort to silence them. The irony. :rolleyes:

    Because there are things that are within the power of humans, and some say there are things within the power of gods, but winning a vote for repeal of those is beyond the power of either.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all

    It is. Only these mentally ill folk have the cheek to attempt to dictate terms & rules to you, me and society in general.

    Maria Steen glared at him a number of times during the debate.

    The vote may be lost. We don't know. The argument will never be lost as long as humans continue to recognise the right to life of the unborn.

    You think you've carried the argument as you are part of the 20 posting to every one poster against you. Echo chamber..25 likes on here don't mean you've won the debate.

    I don't think I've done squat. I'm simply posting in thread regarding a subject I feel passionately about.

    The women who have shared their, often heartbreaking, stories to shine a light on the disgusting way we treat women in crisis pregnancies, the people out canvassing, the people debating on tv, radio and in town halls around the country, they have convinced people that forcing women to remain pregnant regardless of the threat to their mental or physical well-being is simply wrong. Because of THEIR tireless efforts the eight amendment will be repealed on Friday.

    Never tried to silence you. The more you talk the better :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 222 ✭✭TallyRand


    Hard cases seem to get most of the air time and it got me to thinking, if a woman became pregnant by rape (horrible thing to happen) then I’d personally think that if that disgusting evil rapist was caught and convicted then they should be executed. Now there is a life worth ending!

    Funny how yes voters will no doubt turn the other way in a heartbeat, amazing how populism sweeps people on a wave. So good people of boards would you agree with me that the rapist in this instance should be executed? (And yes I know it’s hypothetical but both sides are using these examples)

    You are on the losing side of history. I get to keep talking while you guys will fade into obscurity.

    No - for one and only one reason - false/faulty convictions
