    How is it unrelated , some men will now look for the same rights as women, its related

    It comes across as whataboutery, especially when it has been pointed out that there is an active thread already devoted to the topic.
    Just asking the question in a tread that is full of the right for choice campaigners ,
    But from the responses it would seem most are right for choice if your a women not a man,
    Iv kids myself that i'm very much a parent off and live with but its a very interesting subject and shows equality in Ireland is only an issue when it suits people agenda's

    I can't believe we won the ref not 2 days ago and the meninists are already throwing a tantrum now because they can't have abortions. Try 35 years of campaigning for it, lads. We'll wait.
    No ones throwing tantrums just asking the question .
    It's clear equality only matters when it suits ones agenda,

    Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
    Reg: But you can't have babies.
    Stan: Don't you oppress me.
    Reg: Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?

    So you want to force abortions on women? How would you like if you faced forced castration to ensure that any partner you have doesn't require an abortion?

    Why bother feeling the need to be this insulting to anyone posting on the thread? I don't agree with some of the people posting on here but calling them meninists throwing a tantrum is unnecessarily provocative? What's the point of doing it? What are you hoping to achieve? Also, have you personally being campaigning continuously for 35 years?

    Savita a horrible case died due to sepsis brought on as the medical staff did not do there job.

    Did you have access to her medical records ?

    Do you know more than this man ?



    Prof Arulkumaran said:

    “She did have sepsis. However, if she had a termination in the first days as requested, she would not have had sepsis. We would never have heard of her and she would be alive today,” he said.

    The other thread has a distinctly MRA vibe to it, to be fair.

    Too late for the smokescreen - Yes won and won emphatically.

    The experts have explained why Savita died at length.

    I think it's very wrong of you to try and warp the cause of that poor woman's death to validate your stance.

    Build a bridge.

    How is rehashing the arguments doing any good?

    Boards is going to be a gold mine to any future sociologist.

    As soon as the result came in there was a rush of thread along the lines of ...legalise prostitution, let men disregard parenthood the way a woman can.

    Might say more about AH than anything but its still interesting.

    Not insulting, a simple observation. Have you called out all the people throwing around terms like "feminazi" in this same thread?

    My mother has campaigned since before the 8th was inserted into the constitution, her friends and my sisters and myself have campaigned since the day the marches began to get it out. We've canvassed, we've received untold amounts of abuse these past months alone. We earned this.

    If you or anyone else feel very passionately about giving men the right to walk away from being a parent (a right they already exercise, as has been pointed out) then start a movement. That's what we had to do.

    Get some personal stories. Get some posters. Get some momentum. No one will stop you. I'll even hear you out. But I'm not sorry for coming across as "provocative" when we're celebrating a historic win for women's rights only to have the same old faces slinking in feigning concern about how unfair this is because "what about men."

    I'm saying if a men decided he doesn't want the child why should he be legally obliged to pay for the child, Why can't he opt out of parenting like the women can if she wants ,
    Never said nay thing about forcing women to have abortions' that crazy talk,

    Yeah but the poster's fitting right in there. Look, I don't want to argue with you about it. We probably won't agree and that's ok.

    Like men, women can also walk away too. This leaves the child with the man. See, that is equality. Both get to opt out.

    Do you want men to have access to abortions too in order to completely level the playing field? This is how silly your questions are!

    What prevented her life from being saved? Her dying foetus that caused the sepsis ensured that the medical staff couldn't save her life due to the 8th. Life is precious once it is in the womb and fcuk it when it's not...ain't that right?

    True however even if current laws to be impacted they probably would not terminate unless she asks and there is a 72 hour waiting period. As for the sepsis if the staff had been doing there job they would have been able to treat her and had a termination as is allowed by the law. Look I am glad the law is in less glad about the 12 week but I can live with it. There was so much more the yes side could have a stuck to for a Yes vote without using this horrible death.

    It's illegal for women to walk away too but some do it. So all is equal there for men and women opting out by walking away.


    Btw, I added this to my last post and you probably didn't get to see it:

    Men will have the right to choose, the same as women. If a man gets pregnant then he can have an abortion under the same limits as women after this referendum/legislation is signed. That's what we voted on.
    Stop tagging on extra things and pretending they are the same.

    Men have bodily autonomy and always have. Now you want something additional. Financial autonomy. Go to the other thread!

    Going by the inquiry that said medical misadventure and even when asking for an abortion you have to wait 72 hours

    Why not? It is equality after all. What about those who had gender re-assignemnet? Why do you not want them treated equally?

    It has been highlighted how men can opt out so it is silly. If you are that much a tight ass nasty person and don't want to pay towards the children you stated you have stop paying.
