    Engaging in drunken sex, or unprotected sex through nothing more than desire.
    That's a big claim. Do you have any proof?

    Also, are you against sex in general outside of procreational purposes?

    Don't think so. The doctors were far more reasonable and logical. No side burying their heads in the sand, sticking fingers in their ears. No acknowledgment of the realities of what's happening.

    A question for people who, like me, are opposed to abortion: If a close female relative or friend asked for your financial assistance with the expense of a journey to England for an abortion, would you turn her away? She has made up her mind 100% and if you aren’t prepared to help, she’ll still have the abortion, but it’ll take her several weeks to save the money. Several miserable weeks, during which the foetus will continue to develop and the required procedure will become more and more complex and invasive.

    Would you simply tell this person, whom you deeply love and care about, that you’re simply not prepared to assist with the procurement of an abortion, as it goes against your strongly-held moral beliefs? Or would you accept that it is not about you, and give her whatever help she requires, especially if it means that the abortion will take place at an earlier stage of the pregnancy?

    As someone voting Yes, I'm aware question isn't for me but would suggest if that was a situation that you are that close with the person isn't it highly probable they are aware of your beliefs so you won't be asked?. Things will be done in the underground without your knowledge and with the 8th in place no proper care for the loved one.

    They certainly should be. But what if said lady wants to have the abortion for her own reasons, why should she be denied the choice just because something sits wrong with you.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in abortions unless absolutely necessary, I've a daughter aged 5 weeks. But I feel every woman should have the right to make the decision for herself, and that's why I'll be voting yes.

    So you think all these abortions are from loving couples, married or otherwise, and it's through pure greed that they kill the unborn child as they can't bare to share their precious lives with another.

    There will be no provision for abortion purely on the case of Downs Syndrome. It can't be detected before 12 weeks. It was introduced by the no side to muddy the waters of this debate.

    No, but it may be available under the 'mental health' clause

    Which is happening right now. We export our women to England. Or they order pills online and take them in bedrooms without medical advice.

    We need to grow up as a country.

    The fact 'No' couldnt rustle up a medic to stand to post says a lot. Boylan handed them their ass as usual.

    The reports found the hospital didn't provide the standard of care expected and it mismanaged sepsis, which resulted in the hospital paying compensation to the family of Savita.

    It's wrong for you, is it? Are you aware of the health risks associated even with a normal, healthy pregnancy? The months of nausea, the vomiting, the anemia, the pelvic floor damage, the scarring, the physical pain of giving birth… And of course, the rarer, but very real and life-threatening risks that rear their heads late in a pregnancy – eclampsia, blood-loss, cardiac problems…

    Are you honestly prepared to accept those risks on other people's behalf, just because abortion is wrong for you?

We abhor the many scandals but we believe in the message of Christ, imperfectly implemented by mankind. But we have a right not to be ridiculed.


    Hear hear, religious exploration is an intellectual pursuit. And more.
    Anyone who feels safe in their reality is usually rigidly attached to a dogma, be it materialistic science or whatever religion takes their fancy.
    Its very low brow to have a pop at someone's beliefs without attempting to grapple with the issues.
    Unfortunately, issues run a little deeper than sentimental populist guff.
    E.g most of the pro-lifers probably eat meat. FFS. A number of the pro-choice are probably raving leftie vegans.

    No, it's about a far easier to legislate area where people are dying from addicition, something that they cannot help themselves out of, and we have no will nor desire to legislate to legalise that and make it safer for addicts to access services nor healthcare. Yet, legislating to kill healthy little babies is top of our agenda! For shame.

    Boylan has been a hardcore abortion advocate for years. He came across very well for yes voters, don't think he was as convincing for other voters.

    Meaningless sex, drunken sex, sex through nothing but desire.
    Nothing at all wrong with meaningless sex or desire. Having drunken sex is crap, but there is no harm there as long as both parties consent.
    Do couples in marriages and long term relationships get abortions, just because they don't want to share the remote? If so then I can't agree with that.

    Exactly what is wrong with the Repeal campaign. Too many virtue signallers that have no respect for the opinions of others that disagree with them.

    Can you discuss the points raised, or must you resort to ad hominem and appeals to emotion as is par for the No side course...?

    If you have a valid argument, I'm all ears. Honestly. It'll be a first!

    You want to force women to be pregnant when they don't want to be and then force the trauma of unwanted birth upon them.

    What a hero.

    You want women to have an abortion and take an innocent life? Trauma of childbirth? It's been taking place for millenia. God help you if you ever had to fight in a war etc. Typical me, me, me individualistic attitude of our age.

    And yes abortion will become a method of contraception.

    I'm no hero but I don't take cheap shots laughing at the 1950s. In 60 years time the 2010s may be looked on far worse. Huge suicide rates, men with no role, a society where the numbers watching porn only lowers during the Toy Show. Yeah a golden era.

    The actual living woman has rights to access abortion in the UK, there are options and choices if she wishes.....the unborn little baby has no protection if we remove the 8th amendment, and no right to anything, but sure don't let a little thing like that stand in your way.

    You know Irelands recording of maternal deaths didnt meeti international best practice and by international best practice the deaths of so many women in pregnancy since 1983 would be the inability to procure an abortion while the foetus had a heartbeat

    Do you think a momentary shot of an illegal drug is in any way comparable to a nine month pregnancy and birth?

    As a fellow man, I'd be most interested to hear your perspective on giving birth....

    Here is what the French president said last month when he went to address the Catholic bishops of the country:
    “You consider that our duty is to protect life, especially when this life is defenseless. Between the life of the unborn child, that of being on the threshold of death, or that of the refugee who has lost everything, you see this common trait of deprivation, nakedness and absolute vulnerability”.

    No wants an abortion full stop. No one wants one as contraception for definite.

    The pain, the bleeding, the emotion, the hormonal upset.
    Do I need to describe the pain?
    Do I need to describe the bleeding?

    Is this what you think of women?

    So it's grand for women to have abortions as long as it doesn't take place in Ireland?

    Not every woman has the means to take time off work/school, book a flight and a hotel and travel for abortion.

    This is possibly correct, based on legislation and the law of Ireland. But its a bit loose to say theres nothing wrong with it. That's just a personal opinion stated. Is there a kbock-on effect,a residual effect? I suspect there is. But I'm only asking. Anthropologists, philosophers, esotericists etc could agree with you. Or perhaps not.

    You want to continue sending, our women suffering already with ffa, or having been raped, or a crisis pregnancy, - across to England??

    It's ok to go to the UK for abortion, but not ok here?

    Why do you want to punish women at times of crisis?
