    Yes but do you realise what was voted in.

    Yes. The 36th amendment. Which allows medical abortion of a fetous. Its up to the government to legislate the condition of such. Happy enough about it tbh.

    That's the problem I had right there. The government has no legislation in place yet which means they have a blank canvas atm. They could write up anything without now no matter the irish people think. I believe it was too much power to give them without some clarity.

    They could write it up now perfectly but add to it or amend it years from now as they have the power to do so.

    I now be if it was a no vote then we would have been back a year later voting again (Lisbon style) but with the legislation written up for all to see. Too many people got caught up with women's rights and women's movements to see the future danger that might be.

    Anything they come up with is better that the current state of affairs.
    Unfortunately I have too much experience of the restrictions of the current system. Including travelling with my partner to Liverpool in 2008 and again my partner being refused treatment in 2010 and having to carry a baby until it died at 37 weeks, sometihing we had been to would happen at 12 weeks. So i have more skin in the game than most.......

    I know it was a horrible position but on a personnel note if the legislation that's coming in shortly was in place at my time I wouldn't be alive today.

    I would just prefer to have seen any legislation better voting on it. I think it's terrible there is a strong chance that healthy babies will be killed in the future just because of inconvenience.

    Plus Harris stated abortions will be covered by HSE which will divert money away from other things that would have been possibly more beneficial.

    I think it would have been better to look again at the adoption issues. Many couples out there trying to have kids but can't.

    I wonder will we get a chance to revote again ????

    Doubt it. Government have all the power now. No need to come back to us for permission.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,298 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    They might have all the power, but any bill will still have to go through all the stages of reading and go through both houses. Not an easy of quick procedure, and with many opportunities for TD's to modify and redraw the legislation.
    And don't forget that at every single general election, we vote for our choice of party/candidate giving them (if they form a government) Carte Blanche to introduce any law they see fit.

    Sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt, trusting them to be practical, compassionate and cogniscent of the wishes of the people.
    I don't believe we as a people will rush headlong into widespread terminations for "social " reasons.

    Well if a young lady becomes pregnant and she is offered an abortion free or has to keep it the pressure might be there.

    As opposed to if adoption was an option the lady could give up the child with the hope of contact in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,831 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Adoption is not outlawed. Simply most single women who choose to have their baby now go on to rear them, now that society isn't so judgemental.

    There is a draft bill, they couldn’t go any further with it because they would be passing legislation that was unconstitutional which can’t happen

    Doubt it too. Gaunteed if it wasn't voted through we would have been back inside 2 years only with a lot more detail and people would actually know what their voting for. Closed shop now.

    Yeah I edited that. It's also due to the fact it's easier to adopt aboard that domestically unfortunately

    Adoption has almost completely ceased (5 last year, I believe) for 2 basic reasons.
    First and foremost the social welfare system has developed into something generous enough here (compared to other jurisdictions,) and facitates anyone wishing to rear a child or 2 or 3 on their own.
    Secondly the Social Services have restricted access to children by an incredible amount.
    It is an incredibly invasive process to put yourself and your partner through, to the extent that many give up on the idea least their own relationship suffers under the strain.
    Your background and history is extensively investigated. Your sex life with your partner is likewise. Your financial situation is dissected, your home inspected several times and you will be questioned in a most insensitive and aggressive manner.
    And finally, the age limit has been dropped so much that by the time many find out that they cannot conceive, they are too old and are disqualified.
    It has recently been set at an upper limit of 42 years.( Up from 35!)
    Many foreign countries are also banning adoption from their shores.

    Cheers. I can safely say that's the first time I seen it even while looking for it. The bill is left very open tho. Been hard to make it airtight tho.

    Like all drafts it'll be abused by a few no doubt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Say my name


    Isn't it gas that men think or like to have power and control over a womans/someone else's body.
    I don't hear many female posters commenting on this or maybe they 'know their place'.

    It's their body, it's their choice or at least it should be or will be in this new Ireland.

    Edit: 10 irish women went to the UK for an abortion today. Another 10 are going tomorrow another 10 on Monday.
    10 are going every day (that's what the stats say).

    It’s more than they had in place for the removal of the Seanad with promised reform of the dail.

    Have to say I think that post was uncalled for. Don't see any poster here stating that women should "know thier place"

    It's statements like that that muddled up this whole referendum into a circus at times.
