Great rally? What is it that you think you achieved?
A better question would be what are they hoping to achive? I'd have thought with the law as it stands is not a problem to get an abortion and unless you're looking to legalise here there is not much to campaign for.
It was great in that the logistics went well, we raised some funds, pro-choice people came out to hear what we had to say, it got a bit of media attention, raised the issue of abortion and its illegality in public once more.
What a pointess cause! Surely the law at stands is something both side are reasonaby comfortable with. Why fuck with that.You answered your own question! We are looking to legalise abortion here. In my original post of this thread, you can find out more about what Choice Ireland hopes to achieve.
I was bejesus the only pro life demo person there...think I done fairly ok tbh....I wondered if the heckler was you Janer! Thanks for coming along regardless, but I have to say that that was the worst heckle I've ever seen,
Why did u not just come over and say ur points.....I woulda went toe to toe!I wondered if the heckler was you Janer!

Socmot: meet janer.The only thing you did was to make yourself look foolish.
I remember all of the refferenda. They were fucking bloodbaths - it's taken about 20 years to get to a legal position that everyone is sort of happy with. Whats gained by screwing with that. Seems foolish to me.You like doing this provocateur routine, doncha?
I don't like the Israeli governments foreign policies, have nowt against the normal Israeli people to be honest.
But you already knew that.
to a legal position that everyone is sort of happy with
MN, are you joking? If you're not, no offence but what on earth are you talking about?
Inanyways buh, lil' point- Ireland tends to take a while to come round to things. It took quite a while to get contraception legalised (1979), suicide decriminalised (early 90's) and divorce legalised (mid 90s). A plethora of other controversial legislation founded on catholic morality to do with families/drugs/sex etc has been reformed in the last 20 years on issues that seemed like they were set in stone. I have absolute faith that through the work of pro-choice organisations (and all of those who support women, their rights, equality, human rights and all the other awesome things that anti-abortion legislation refutes) the legislation will be changed in the not-too distant future.
hi buzzo
I dunno Buzzo, the whole abortion thing doesn't strike me as a topic you can talk most folk around on. It seems to me that if you think abortion is killing babies then you're never going to be convinced that it's an OK thing.
Has there been any polling done on the issue in recent years just to see what the view of the nation as a whole is?
By the way, if this is an actual fight then I'm perfectly happy to get in a ring with Justin Barrett. I hate that disgusting little gnome.
Dude you may not be wrong in terms of a pro-babies mindset..... minds may not be changed. I'm gonna throw this shit out here.... but I'd say people said the same thing about divorce and contraception in the not too distant past (family is family, extra marital sex is extra marital sex etc).... they were all sanctified to a point.
