    Fine Gael promised the following in their election manifesto:
    We will establish an all-party committee, with access to medical and legal expertise, to consider the implications of the recent ruling of the ECHR and to make recommendations. Such a process would, we believe, be the best way of examining the issues in a way that respects the range of sincerely-held views on this matter.

    Don't be silly, I really doubt there are many people still going to church who also don't think a WiFi hotspot is something that Bridie had to go to the doctor to get a cream for.

    The rosary beads refers to an incident when the Vatican embassy was closed. At an FG meeting Mathews was waving them about the place.

    I give respect where its due. Its not due there.

    Correct, (typo)my mistake she had a miscarriage, and was deeply affected

    Imagine the effect of an abortion would have had on her-despite the fact she thought she wanted one

    Actually the research shows that women undergoing abortion suffer no statistically significant adverse psychological outcomes. Women undergoing full term pregnancy have reported a significant increase in psychiatric contact. It's all nicely documented here.

    contraception and abortion also have risks, cannot be considered safe. They have their risks and side effects both physical and mental

    The safety of contraception depends on both your definition of the term safe and the method of contraception.

    As for abortion, it is one of the safest medical procedures there is. The death rate from general surgical procedures in the US is approximately 1.3%. The death rate from abortions in the US is approximately 0.0014%. In 2008, for example, there were 825,564 abortions performed in the USA. In that period there were only 12 deaths from abortions or complications thereof.

    Science doesn't agree with you. At all.

    Sometime after we split from chimpanzees c. 5mya, human females developed a concealed oestrus, i.e. the males would no longer be able to tell when a female was in season. Once this mutation took hold in the population, sex very much ceased to be solely or even predominantly about reproduction. It became as much about enjoyment as anything else.

    That's your rebuttal to a well-researched post containing evidence to back up all claims? Come on, you can do better than that. Please be able to do better than that. It'd be terribly embarrassing for you if you had nothing to counter with.

    I'm sure you'll be able to explain WHY it's "very sad", and back your points up with a few links. It'd look terribly foolish and ignorant if you were to just leave it at your glib dismissal.

    http://afterabortion.org/1999/abortion-risks-a-list-of-major-physical-complications-related-to-abortion/


    According to the best record based study of deaths following pregnancy and abortion, a 1997 government funded study in Finland, women who abort are approximately four times more likely to die in the following year than women who carry their pregnancies to term. In addition, women who carry to term are only half as likely to die as women who were not pregnant.16 (Click here for more details on this important study.)

    natural1-300x184.jpgComparison of deaths from natural causes (excluding suicide, accidents, and violence) by pregnancy outcome compared to women not pregnant in the year prior to their death.



    suicide-300x205.jpgWomen who had abortions were 3.4 times more likely to commit suicide compared to women who had not been pregnant in the previous year and 6 times more likely to commit suicide than women who delivered.


    The Finland researchers found that compared to women who carried to term, women who aborted in the year prior to their deaths were 60 percent more likely to die of natural causes, seven times more likely to die of suicide, four times more likely to die of injuries related to accidents, and 14 times more likely to die from homicide.

    Two studies of the entire population of women in Denmark published in 2012 have shown similar results. The first found that the risk of death following abortion remains higher in each of the first ten years following the abortion. The second found that the risk of death increases with each abortion, 45% after one abortion, 114% after two abortions, and 192 percent after three or more abortions.

    Can you try harder, please? It's just that I'm busy after work and won't have much time to read your responses, and right now you're just digging yourself a deeper hole...

    Well I'm sure a website called "afterabortion" will be impartial and unbiased and full of scrupulously exact science. I've a D&D game in about 30 minutes so someone else will have to look at the numbers and methodology and tell me if they're a pile of ****. Sorry Jernal, I know you love making me trawl through spreadsheets but my urban ranger character is finally levelling up tonight!

    Enjoy the D&D game

    Am sure it will go better than this one - for you that is

    Women with a history of one abortion face a 2.3 times higher risk of having cervical cancer, compared to women with no history of abortion. Women with two or more abortions face a 4.92 relative risk. Similar elevated risks of subsequent ovarian and liver cancer have also been linked to single and multiple abortions. These increased cancer rates for post-aborted women may be linked to the unnatural disruption of the hormonal changes which accompany pregnancy and untreated cervical damage or to increased stress and the negative impact of stress on the immune system.4

    Women who had one, two, or more previous induced abortions are, respectively, 1.89, 2.66, or 2.03 times more likely to have a subsequent pre-term delivery, compared to women who carry to term. Prior induced abortion not only increased the risk of premature delivery, it also increased the risk of delayed delivery. Women who had one, two, or more induced abortions are, respectively, 1.89, 2.61, and 2.23 times more likely to have a post-term delivery (over 42 weeks).17 Pre-term delivery increases the risk of neonatal death and handicaps.

    HANDICAPPED NEWBORNS IN LATER PREGNANCIES:

    Abortion is associated with cervical and uterine damage which may increase the risk of premature delivery, complications of labor and abnormal development of the placenta in later pregnancies. These reproductive complications are the leading causes of handicaps among newborns.9

    INCREASED RISKS FOR WOMEN SEEKING MULTIPLE ABORTIONS:

    In general, most of the studies cited above reflect risk factors for women who undergo a single abortion. These same studies show that women who have multiple abortions face a much greater risk of experiencing these complications. This point is especially noteworthy since approximately 45% of all abortions are for repeat aborters.

    I'm sure somebody else will have more time to dismantle those stats in turn, the supposed suicide "link" in particular is used as a case study for abuse of statistics for a presupposed moral agenda.

    But in the meantime, you still haven't explained what's sad about orgasms?
