Exit poll: The post referendum thread. No electioneering.

Will anti abortion medical professionals be obliged to carry out abortions? i presume it won't be expected of them.

I'd imagine it's a type of procedure that no doctor will relish doing. I mean think about it? It could really fcuk a person up over time.

Considering its only supplying 1 oral and 7 vaginal pills it's not as gruesome as you seem to think.


The opt out clause must include referral to a doctor prepared to provide the requested healthcare.

GP's who don't wish to prescribe abortion pills can object due to conscientious reasons, but legally they must refer the patient to another doctor who will provide the service.

Late term terminations for FFA and health issues for the mother are not abortions, the woman is induced and gives birth to the baby via cesarean section or labour.

It might be a specialised clinic deal, like in other countries

Staffed by medical personnel who exclusively deal in abortion.

We have no reason to believe it won't be a GP lead service as promised in the proposal.
Circa 4k abortions occur annually, not much of a market there for a specialised clinic.

They want to achieve a lasting wedge issue to build a far right political platform on, and they've got Cambridge Analytica employees on board to help them.

I,ve said in the past I strongly disagreed with stunts they pulled going outside maternity hospitals with their banner displays. Its a bit of a stretch to use labels such as " far right " to describe them, after all they are a single issue group .

I think you underestimate what maternity staff see and deal with everyday.

I know but this is very different really isn't it.

The highlight of the whole campaign. This was when Sky couldn't get anyone from the NO side, so this is what they had to settle on. She is absolutely out of her mind.

Incredible.

With the intent of saving a life not taking one. I don't mean to be blunt but that's the stark reality in the majority of cases where the mum's life isn't in danger.

I'd just worry that some could struggle with the burden, it's something that could get in on a person's psyche. I hope counselling is made available to all involved.

The four questions to prevent worry:


1) Is it true?
You can only answer this with a YES or a NO. Okay, now let's move on to the next question.

2) Can you absolutely know that's it's true?
Okay, this is where it gets a little bit harder...Can you absolutely (that means 100%) know that it's true ? Again, this is a yes or no.

3) How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
I don't feel good about myself.
I have feelings of anger, hatred and self-pity.
I'm envious of my co-worker and wish bad things would happen to him.
I feel worried about my own job security.
I'm constantly stressed.
As you can see, that one simple thought causes a lot of damage and brings you to a variety of low places every time you believe it.

4) Who would you be without that thought?
Who would you be without that worry, anger, stress and self-pity? Who would you be without this nagging negative thought hanging around your mind all day and zapping your energy? Who would you be without this thing that you worry about before you go to sleep and that is keeping you from sleeping? Who would you be without that thought?

I would feel lighter and freer.
I would have more peace in my life, more strength, more calmness.
My relationships would be better.
I could live more in the moment.
I could be more present at work and actually do a better job.
When you go through this exercise, you can truly look at the issues that are bothering you and realize that not only are they not doing you any good but they are actually hurting you.

Once you get to that point, you can look at where you can take action and where you just need to let go...

Tbf, I’ve always found Colm to be excellent in debates. I wouldn’t want to go up against him and I’m a master-debater.

Oh, you had me for a second thinking of all that life you were killing.

I went back and listened to the rest of it. It gets worse. I'm pretty sure she was posting on the threads here. As Colm said she was very light on facts.
