"Kill the fetus" ban lifted in Ireland

[Pat Mustard]

It's encouraging, but I wouldn't be surprised to see fuckwads copy America, and place unreasonable restrictions on abortions so that nobody can get one for 13 weeks.

No, the legislation is in hand in draft form. The "no" twonks will claim the flood of abortions as evidence of the slippery slope fallacy but in the real world there will be a spike in domestic abortions simply because there is no longer a need to export it to the UK. All of those will simply come home to roost.

The "No" idiots went on an agenda of there is no abortion in Ireland, good holy roman catholic Ireland. They failed to realise that abortion is happening all the time, from the trek to the UK to the handy drugs on the interwebs, to the coathanger in a back street.

Now, I am a bloke, so it isn't something that will ever impact on me. Why the hell should my status over-ride women's health? I can tell you why. Religion teaches that women are mere chattel, mere property. As are one's children. That is the problem. That is what needs to die in a fire

And the no side are on Marion Finucane trying to delegitimise the result right now, saying that the result was a huge surprise to everybody because the polls were tight (fact: the polls weren't tight. The closest was an Irish Times poll which showed a 12% lead for yes before correcting for the don't knows from 3 weeks ago and they widened massively again since then mainpy due to the horrible lying no campaign), and insinuating there were lots of illegal votes based on a few unevidenced anecdotes.

Then the focus shifted to "the government shouldn't legislate to allow abortion to 12 weeks, because that's what the people don't want", despite the fact they lost so heavily because they kept telling people that they didn't want the proposed legislation.

I wish to fuck that the Irish media would finally stand up to the lies of the Ionanist "institute", the Hitler Jugend Defence, senator Briefcase Wanker, Katie Arse Cough and Cora Shitlock.
