Experience is critical in medicine, we all know that from recent scandals. Oversight is also critical. Hope and optimism is not enough. You need very well trained medical professionals. GPs are great but again for complicated procedures around abortion, you need trained experts, not only obgyns, but nurses and the like. People's lives will be at risk. These are valid concerns which I think most people would agree on apart from the "Happy Clappy, isn't it great we are getting abortion?" brigade. If you are going to have abortion here at least attempt to do it right, otherwise we will be looking at the next big scandal, with Harris and Varakar stonewalling and saying "nothing to do with us".

Calling for "Scientific Data" is meaningless guff. The facts were provided to you. You ignored them and started looking for something else instead. To save you, me and the other posters on this thread from your repetitive posts, I am going to do us all a favour. Guess where you are heading My ignore list Goodbye.

Shurimgreat wrote: » Is that seriously the best you can come up with? What repetition? I started talking about how we have no experience in the provision of mass abortion in Ireland, a topic no-one really has brought up. The Yes side need to do better and be more imaginative than the default "I don't care, you lost, we won" nonsense. That approach truly is staid and repetitive at this stage.

Shurimgreat wrote: » I guess repetition has become a large part of this thread if that is the case. You didn't really counter my points to be fair and not in any great detail, just some vague "it will be grand" responses. I will repeat the points not for the sake of repetition but more to make people aware what they are in for. If they want to stick their fingers in their ears and pretend its not real fair enough. We have NO EXPERIENCE in the mass provision of abortion services and particularly in the provision of complicated abortion services. An entire abortion infrastructure will need to be set up. It will take years to get right. So enough of the Happy Clappy, it will be alright, aren't we great, nonsense. And I don't think you could ask for two worst politicians than Harris and Varadkar to lead this. We have seen their approach to accountability and openness recently. Varadkar wasn't even aware of the Cervical Smear scandal when he was minister for Health. So much for being on top of your brief.

Cupcake_Crisis wrote: » I’m sure he’s devastated. You seem to have conveniently ignored where I informed you that medical staff already train in abortion services. Not to mention the medical staff who would have worked abroad gained experience there. Also not to mention the many foreign doctors and nurses working in our hospitals who come from countries where abortions are routinely performed. By all means carry on cherry picking which information you want to address.

Our TogetherforYes members were assaulted in Letterkenny on Saturday night; threatened with serious bodily harm on several occasions. I was thumped and abused verbally on local streets. Those blows don't hurt me. But the redrawing of constituencies in Donegal dealt us a huge blow. Our Ballyshannon & Bundoran votes had been gobbled up by our neighbour counties. Also, emigrant youth. People in my age group. All are abroad, or down south in cities. They marked 'X' in the Yes box there, but are Donegal to their core.

Some women if they do take the two pills will react differently to others. .............. There is the prescribing of medicines afterwards. There are I think you will agree numerous different scenarios at play, often complex ones. .
