The point was missed on you obiviously as it was in response to a question from the Yes side who brought Jacinta into it. We take it your in favour of killing her children, that folks is the mindset of a Yes voter, if her daddy's poor chop the baby up.

I'm suggesting it for women who chose for economic reasons, whether that's 10k if you adopt or 10k in financial assistance to help you after the baby arrives. 3)That's debatable personally after seeing someone with kidney failure i'd keep mine regardless of cost, I've no issue if someone wants to sell one willingly. I was willing to give one for free but that was a family member. 4)If I was stoney broke and given the choice I might just take the 10k, see point 2. 5)Your logics dictates we kill the 5000 in that point. So to sum up, kill them all, screw giving an alternative is your main theme.

One goes through 9 months of pregnancy, medical appointments, scans etc (hope fully everything OK, so no extras) Has a baby, baby is entitled to medical card. Child allowance is paid until child is 18. Etc etc etc. And in this example, the women are working & providing for them selves. Which coats the taxpayer more? I am NOT suggesting abortion should be brought in to save money, I am merely counter arguing the 'how much will it cost the taxpayer' rubbish.

Once it's in, then changes to the law will occur without the need for a referendum, and the emotional aspect can be removed with a more systematic approach taken. Hopefully, (and past experience tells me that this is unlikely), proper research and analysis on the issue with Irish cases, will provide a better guide for how Abortion should be implemented for Irish women. I honestly don't see how it can be prevented at this stage, and will be brought up again & again until it's passed.

Put it another way at what point do you see a difference between the two? Two weeks, twenty weeks, thirty? Having read and listened and watched over the last months my general take has been both the Yes and No crowd are often as not as bad as each other and I would suspect the majority who are soft Yes/No voters feel the same. For me the sooner this bloody referendum is done and dusted the better. Regardless of the result.

But some of the stunts pulled by the No campaign put them way out in front: quotations from fake healthcare professionals, planting people at Repeal with banners featuring blatantly inflammatory slogans, distributing a booklet modelled aesthetically on official government booklets etc. Very underhand stuff and, honestly, quite desperate. I haven’t seen anything that compares from the Yes campaign. Saying that one side is as bad the other is fluent but doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny. My father is voting no and he has much bigger problems with the No campaign. Really hates the lot of them and has found the Yes campaign much less objectionable. He has found the No campaign so offputting that he is actually considering abstaining. He told me that earlier and, believe me, he always votes.

Arlette who was on the Pat Kenny show last night, her story was featured on it. She’s a real person. She is just one of many examples I can think of.

And this is the problem with the No side - they are exploiting and taking advantage of situations like this to make a collective CHOICE for the whole of society.
