    Is this what you think of women?

    I don't think that way of women but when 1/4 or 1/5 are aborted abroad that suggests more than rape, abnormalities. That's millions of human beings in my book.

    We have lots of illegal things in Ireland which people are partaking in, heroin, cocaine, prostitution, and who knows what else. When we legislate to legalise those things that people do in secrecy, without supervision, then, I might think about voting yes for abortion.

    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....
    You might be a dude, who said I am..... I know very well about birth, I've birthed 3 kids, and a nine month pregnancy and birth, and the joy of looking into the face of your child, is, you're right, no way comparible to the unending slavery that addicts face of having to take drugs every day of their lives, risking their lives, to just get through another day, or who knows, it could be their last..... but of course, we don't legalize anything they do to help them with their life threatening conditions,  down with that sort of thing, aborting healthy babies on the other hand......

    Also AM your post is exclusively about women. Men are involved in this issue. Have they no voice?

    ???

    There are a huge range of reasons women or couples need to access abortion. A private matter between the healthcare provider and the woman. None of my business and none of yours.

    That 1/5 statistic is incorrect. So is the one about 90% of babies with DS being aborted.

    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?
    Who said anything about punishing anyone? Women have choices, if that is what they chose, unborn babies have nothing, and surely, the greatest suffering is death, and who will die in abortion..... think about it there Sherlock

    They may have a voice but ultimately the choice lies with the person who has to carry the pregnancy and go through childbirth. Are you really suggesting a man should be allowed to force a woman to stay pregnant against her will? That's a form of abuse as far as I'm concerned.

    A Mormon girl is more likely to be reading a book or baking cupcakes on a Saturday night than falling around the street drunk in a skimpy outfit and having sex with some random.
    Crikey. I don't know if you're taking the mick here, but does female sexuality scare you that much that you want all women to be "baking cupcakes on a saturday night?"

    Death is not the greatest suffering- Im sure everyone agrees on that. Death comes as relief to some

    I didn't suggest that but a father has to have some say and the way people talk about child birth here it's a wonder any of us were born or couples plan pregnancies and celebrate becoming pregnant.

    We need to allow people make choices for themselves in conjunction with their doctor.

    I'm assuming you close the door when you go to your doctor?

    What a load of nonsense. What about all the children born who have no father in their lives? Great, isn't it?
    How do you know there is no father? You are making up scenarios out of thin air.

    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.

    It's only €80 for illegally obtained pills that will end a pregnancy. Not one single foetus is saved by the 8th amendment. Not anymore. But the important thing is that the harlot girl or woman having the abortion gets to be really punished for it by having to either endure the trip abroad or the terror of illegally taking strong medication without medical supervision.

    Now that means that many pregnant women being unable to avail of necessary healthcare and families who are grieving the loss of a baby through FFA will have to cope alone in a foreign healthcare system. But sure they can offer their suffering up to God. The important thing is that we pretend we're saving little babbies and punishing those dirty sex havers.

    No we don't all agree, and thank goodness for that.
    Anyways, I'm voting NO, and I'm off to bed, with my clear conscience.
    Each to their own vote, I've firmly decided my vote tonight.

    Sure that question makes no sense at all.

    A woman does not come to decision that she requires an abortion based on how much pain she will or won't suffer.

    There are a multitude of reasons an abortion could be needed. None are my business, and none is your business.

    Nope. Please read:

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/iceland-eliminated-syndrome-abortion/

    The British figures of 1 in 5 do not count women who didn’t have prenatal testing to see if their baby had DS.
    If I remember correctly, circa 68% of women opted for the testing. Of the 68% who got a positive result for DS, 90% chose to abort.
    It doesn’t count the women who didn’t avail of the testing.

    There’s a big difference between that and the misleading posters being hung up around the place. It’s a manipulation of facts.

    Edit: I just googled it. It’s actually 64% of women that opt for the prenatal testing. So 90% of that 64% of women.

    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.

    Others disagree. Sure they do. But if two adults decide to have sex and get enjoyment out of it then I see nothing wrong there. Furthermore, it is none of my business if two people want to have sex, and besides, I don't give a toss what others get up to in the bedroom as long as nothing illegal is involved. If anthropologists, philosophers, esotericists etc want to disagree with me then they are free to do so :D

    The 1 in 5 figure includes miscarriages. On average 1 in 6 recorded pregnancies end in miscarriage. That leaves about 4% of pregnancies that end in abortion and thousands of those abortions were women from Ireland. Go educate yourself better than a blatantly bullshít poster.

    Well the referendum is held because it is my business if I want to see a culture of death in my country. The right of the individual does not override the common good and protection of the weakest in our society. The ultimate judgement of a democracy.

    I'm involved in farming, it pains me to make a young animal that has been put in calf at an age she can't bear it, abort. And that's an animal. I can't comprehend ending human life. That's me.

    I'm going to sign off now. But thank you AM for the civil debate and others too. We all hold strong beliefs and if the situation was more personal for me I may think differently. But as of now I'm a sperm fuses with egg, human life person. :)

    I’m seeing lots of compassion for potential people but pretty much none for born living citizens (such as women) and the circumstances they find themselves in.
