Anyone in the mood for a debate on abortion?

[BeBMan]

I'm not.

But hey, I guess this has never been done here before, so here's ya chance:

Ireland. Discuss.

(yes, I'm a lazy bastard for not providing a link).

Vote "Yes"

[ZEE]

Who cares. Goddamn humans and their politics.

Just give me a bottle of 100 Proof and a box of Kleenex.

[Lorizael]

Don't know what this is about. Are you asking if we should abort Ireland?

[Elok]

Ireland just voted via referendum to legalize abortion.

[Proteus_MST]

Abortion till the 12th week one should add ... not unlimited
Before that, abortion was totally illegal, the harshest abortion law in the whole EU, meaning that people in ireland traveled to other countries in order to get their abortion

[Lorizael]

Well I guess this comes down to whether the Irish are people. If not, then certainly their fetuses aren't either, so there's nothing wrong with aborting them.

[Lorizael]

Hm. But at the same time if an Irishwoman isn't a person then she doesn't have any rights, including a right to bodily autonomy.

[BeBMan]

Who cares. Goddamn humans and their politics.

Just give me a bottle of 100 Proof and a box of Kleenex.

Is this Jonny Depp in that avatar? Wrong hat for Captain Jack Sparrow!

I'll argue that after your society legalized something so horrible that it doesn't take long to go down the ****ter from there.

Not quite true, the Maltese law is the worst. Ireland has a life saving paragraph which Malta doesn't.

life-saving abortion law


Malta Independent Sunday, 14 July 2013, 09:00 Last update: about 5 years ago
With Ireland adopting on Friday a controversial law allowing abortion for the first time in limited cases where the mother’s life is at risk, Malta is now the only European country without a life-saving abortion law.

The Irish are not finished counting, but at the moment there are 67% yes votes.

...

O.K., I correct myself ... Ireland has (soon probably had) the 2nd harshest abortion law in the EU

[BlackCat]

Good, I was worried that you were turning into a new Kiddy promoting fake news.

[Dauphin]

I think Gibraltar and Northern Ireland's laws are possibly worse or on a par with the Republic's law/article soon to be repealed. Their sentences for assisting abortion are life imprisonment

Debate seems to be over, by about a 2:1 margin.
