So why do you think not a single identifiable pro-life person (I don't count anonymous internet posters) is prepared to say anything like this in public?

Do you think it is because they don't agree with you that it is murder, or because they do but they feel that they can't be honest about the true extent of their beliefs because it would lose them public support?

If one disagrees that a 12 week old foetus is a human life

and this is a matter of opinion

and the majority of people seem not to agree with you in Ireland in 2017

then what are you getting out of adding more and more emotional pronouns to your opinions?

You haven't posted a fact yet. If you even admitted that you had nothing but strong opinions it would at least be a start.

Your strong opinions, by the way, will be utterly irrelevant the day after women get control over their own reproductive health in Ireland. You won't even have a forum like this to get your self-righteous kicks from

No, such emotive accusations are wrong of course.
People kill legally all the time worldwide, war, self defence, police in serving justice, even death sentences etc etc.
That doesent mean though that someone hasn't been killed, an innocent in many cases, I would view abortion in this way.

What about me? I gave a friend of my GF in college many years ago the money to procure an abortion in England!

What sentence should I get?

Also, should someone who had an abortion after being raped get a longer sentence than her rapist?

It really is the most cowardly dodge isn't it?

They'd have us believe they think women are just too stupid to know what they're doing when they seek out an abortion, or that evil abortionists grab them in off the street. I wonder is the idea that women generally are too silly to know the difference between right and wrong, or do they imagine pregnancy frazzles our brains?

TBH I suspect they're lying about what they really believe, and they would be perfectly happy with a Nicaraguan-style regime where women are imprisoned even for unexplained miscarriages, never mind actual abortion, but they daren't expose the depth of their extremism because they know very few people in Ireland still think like that these days.

Give them to my child so they did not have to go through with a pregnancy? Every day, and twice on Sunday. If they sold them on Costco I would buy a big pack of them just in case.

That is really stupid question. Let me give you an example to show why... would you rather give your child pills that will make her bleed from every orifice or let her remain pregnant with their rapist's child that will likely physically damage or kill her because she is only 9 and her body is too small?

So you agree then. Abortion pills should be provided under the supervision of a qualified medical professional, and women should not be forced to resort to buying them online.

It happens every month. Naturally, as a consequence of my body’s own biology.
The product of a uterus that has been growing a baby for 3 months bears no resemblance to the shedding of a uterine lining that is not needed after 21 days.
You can try to convince yourself that it does, but it doesn’t.
Anyone who has had a 12 week miscarriage will vouch for that.
So, not the same thing at all as a chemically induced abortion.
People in favor of abortion work so hard to convince themselves that it’s all very simple and straightforward and clean and tidy, and nobody, but nobody, mother or baby suffers or gets hurt in any way.
Inducing a chemical abortion at home is a great step forward for the health of women and children .

So your only in favor of abortion in the cases of rape and incest?
Or are you just throwing it in there for the purposes of silly appeal to emotion, knowing that rape and incest is a reason given for abortion in such a minuscule tiny almost nonexistent percentage of abortions?
Interesting that you would by a stack of abortion pills from Costco for your child (? are we in the States or Ireland), in preference over reliable safe contraception coupled with safe sex practices.

Let's just get one thing straight here, don't dare put words in my mouth. I have made my position more than clear on a number of threads now, but I now see I was flogging a dead horse by even replying to you at all.

I believe in a woman making a choice for herself. I believe it's between her and her doctor. I trust my fellow female citizens to make the right choice for their circumstances. I don't believe a woman should go through the trauma of an unwanted pregnancy. I don't believe a child should be brought into the world unwanted, into a life of neglect and abuse.
I believe that when it is YOU who is pregnant, EOTR, or your partner, then you can push all your notions about the unborn into the mix and make your own mind up. But until then it has nothing to do with you.

And to clarify, the reason I refuse to engage with you is not because I think you are right (???), it is because you are full of contractions and NIMBYisms, you just rant your opinion over and over again as if it's fact despite several intelligent posters pointing out flaws in your logic over the course of severel threads.
It is of course your CHOICE to post in that style and I won't take that choice away from you, but I will refuse to reply to your posts because I don't wish to engage with someone with such dedicated disregard for other people's viewpoints.

I had an abortion at 10 weeks using pills. It was no worse than a period. A bit more painful (not as bad as contractions but similar pattern) but the amount of blood wasn't much bigger than a normal period for me.

People who are in favour of abortion generally want to stop the practice of women taking medication without professional supervision. It's the current situation that drives women to take risks.

No one ever said abortion was clean and tidy btw, like most aspects of reproduction it's messy but far less messy than you might think.

All that queueing and prescription writing, into the chemist queueing again all to bring on what amounts to no more then a regular monthly period which, let’s face it, 50% of the population deal with 12 times a year for 30 years.
I don’t need a doctors appointment for my period every month, there’s no need for one to get the abortion pill.

So, one of the problems the Oireachtas Committee identified was that Irish women were resorting to abortions using pills later than is considered ideal in other countries, precisely because abortion is illegal and therefore carried out without proper medical supervision, as well as often being later than would be the case if the woman had been able to go to her GP or a clinic.

I see in the IT today there's an article about abortion law in France, where medical abortion is available until the 8th week, and only surgical abortion after that until the 12th week : https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/abortion-battles-rage-on-in-france-despite-liberal-regime-1.3327713

Since they are having these abortions anyway, the question really is whether the principle is so important that we are prepared to see Irish women put their health at unnecessary risk, or whether we accept that women are having abortions, aided and abetted by our own law, but not in optimally as conditions.

It's not as though we're actually trying to stop them, after all.

Basically, all those posters who don't want to see women jailed for having abortions, are you prepared nevertheless to see some of them injured and possibly dying as an alternative punishment? I think a spell in jail would be preferable to dying, don't you?

I know, right? Get your amoxicillin, your steroids and your warfarin online. Why not?

You have no real argument here. You don't have the slightest clue what you're actually discussing.

Criminalisation forces women to explore dangerous methods of procuring abortions.
"They don't have to get abortions" is a convenient answer for someone who has zero social awareness and probably zero empathy.

The only two options are "force women to take dangerous measures" or "allow them to attend a doctor and get it done safely". There is no third possibility of "no abortions" unless your plan is to start locking women up as soon as they become pregnant.

That's been talked through long before now, no one wants to see anyone die here AFAIK.
There are extreme views on either side, some accuse abortionists of murder, some accuse pro lifers of causing death to women who die in childbirth or medical conditions during pregnancy.
I don't see that either should have to happen or a law be put in place that can cause either to happen. The current law needs changing, no doubt on that, but not so extremely as to have unlimited abortion.
There is a middle ground, perhaps it will turn out to be the most popular choice, but not if its not given a chance by not even being considered for a vote.

People pointing out that you are a nimby after you have yourself admitted to being one, is not a personal attack.

You seriously need to rethink that. It's ALL you do.

I went to a woman's clinic in Liverpool (not for anything pregnancy related) but had to run a gauntlet of placards, protesters and regular calls of "fcking baby killing bitch".

I saw pregnant woman and girls traumatised by the abuse theywere subjected to. It was abhorrent.

So don't come here with the idea thst you're nothing more than a pink "love both" umbrella and happy thoughts.

I've seen the actual reality
