Exit poll: The post referendum thread. No electioneering.

Ozymandius2011

This is for people who have already voted in the referendum. How did you vote? I voted yes.

Mod: This thread is little more than a survey about how you voted. Please don't the ins and outs of abortion.

Mod: This is not a reiteration of the previous 8th threads. If you were threadbanned from those, you are not threadbanned here.

I'm not repeating myself on a tangent I've more than covered already.

You didn't so much offer your opinion as to what they'd do, as slag them off in advance for backing down. While covering yourself by simultaneously slagging them off if they stick to "NEVER NEVER".

As I already pointed out, I'm not at all critical of SF on this -- other than being slow reproductive rights learners, but not as slow as the other three main single-community parties. I mention them only in the light of the hilarity of how you would gloss SF "quietly backing down", or sticking to their "NEVER NEVER redlines".

It's pretty much your single transferable post.

Where did I do anything only tell the facts.

If you object to the fact above, point out what your objection is please with counter facts.

The DUP are the ONLY party standing in the way of equal rights on the island.

"homemaker" Joanna Jordan is going to bring a petition challenging the High Court ruling that the rest of the country can outvote her.

Why is there no journalist in the country wants to profile this constant agitator, neither her nor Charles Byrne?

Where do they get their money? Private citizens, homemakers and music teachers, for instance, rarely have high court cash just knocking around.

Where is the Irish Times piece on the people suing the voters of Ireland at great expense?

Can we just abort the two of them and bring in the will of the people?

id be careful to state that they have a right to make their case and claim under the legitimate means available

but with that said the mystery around them and their extraordinary resources is......noteworthy. influence in high places in media at the very least the way the the press are just ignoring this.

thankfully we can't kill people just because someone doesn't agree with them.

Generally yes

However, these are two frivolous cases based on nothing but bias and bunkum. In order to be successful they need to not only prove their claims, but also prove that it materially affected the result.

And the best case scenario for them is a rerun of the election. Which will result in a similar result anyway!

EDIT: If the post above mine is directed at me, I cannot see it as "This message is hidden because end of the road is on your ignore list. "

To quote Morrissey in a similar context: "I'm sure there was a certain flippancy to that remark. I wasn't banging a mallet on the table."

So with a few Catholic run hospitals saying they will refuse to perform abortions, may now lose control over those hospitals.

Great news, and glorious to see them shoot themselves in the foot, again, and again, and again.

A report outlining a plan to separate church and state in healthcare is due before the government next month. It has examined a code of ethics from the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference that suggests banning abortion in hospitals with a religious ethos.

Only right to be fair, why should some ridiculous paedophile organisation be in charge of the maternity hospitals - or hospitals in general.

This is the final straw that will finally push the government into action about removing church influence in health care. The only sad thing is that it takes the church refusing to do something first

Meh! Sure, if the Government want to pay for the use of the buildings all these years, not to mention wages for all the nuns who set the hospitals up.....

If only one was, that’s too many.

Your post reminds me of those people who downplay how many Jews were murdered during WWII. Oh, only a million, you say? Like, even if they were right, it would still be so wrong.

They kinda blocked the 1967 Act being extended for about 50 years though.

The church owes the state well over a billion euros not accounting for interest. It is long, long, long past time that they were stripped of assets to the value of what they owe. Those hospitals and the vast majority of schools are the rightful property of the state.

I am not for a minute defending any party but like all but one party on this island they have changed their view and have gotten behind liberalising policy on these matters.

The focus really should be on removing the last bastion of bigoted religious fundamentalists influencing social laws and policy governing everyone.

Part payment? I think you might want to do a bit of a valuation....
Add in voluntary health and teaching personnel, and I think you might find the State would have a fairly substantial deficit - especially since the State itself - shamefully - was culpable in passing draconian laws, condemning these women and their children to a hellish life, and failing completely in their duty of care to the poor unfortunates their actions condemned as surely as those so-called "igious" who carried out the abuse.

The vast majority of schools are the property of the Catholic Community - not the hierarchy.

OK - pay up or else.

1 billion will do for starters.

And because we all know why the church owes the money, they are on the back foot. I say go for a million trillion euros and f@ck them.

except they were being paid by the people ( or the same people be would living under the threat of being ostracised from the pulpit by the local Roman Terrorist if they didn't pay up )

Property of the people, same as things and property taken over by the Nazi scum was returned to the people.

Was it the responsibility of "the people", or the Government, to pay the staff in Government institutions?
Or did the Government not collect tax?

Nice word choice. Does "the people" mean those who have no connection whatsoever with those who contributed to the building and upkeep of those buildings over the years - or are you suggesting that they're effectively state owned?

I think you may find that property rights are fairly securely enshrined in Irish legislation.

And, by the way, this is way off-topic.

You just argued they dont routinely rights. They were completely happy to block abortion rights for about 50 years so you were wrong.

Everybody did Joey.

But if it helps you, carry on with the rather pathetic attempt to characterise them as the current problem with regards to equal rights for all. I fancy nothing I could say or do will change that mindset.

Looks like the appeals court will be hearing Joanna Jordan's appeal on August 17th, submissions due by the 7th.
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/high-court/abortion-referendum-appeal-to-be-heard-in-august-1.3578370

I had thought the appeals court would've thrown out the request to appeal, apparently not.

Also, someone from Leitrim wants to get in on action (same article) but the Judges are denying it, saying 'you can't bring your appeal as a substitution for one already ruled on, just because you want to.'

I'd love to know just who's funding these appeals.
