Ireland Joins the Rest of the Civilized World

That's not the question.
Look at the title of the thread and the only reason for my response (because I really don't care what the Irish do), that only abortion equals civilization.
Until the Irish embraced abortion, they were not "civilized."
As I posited, is euthanasia of the elderly the next step towards defining "civilization?"

You get to have your opinions and draw your conclusions on the issue but you don't get to have any interpretative perogative about it.

So, my reading of the thread title is that it does NOT say that only abortion equals civilization.

My previous answer explains why Ireland's ban on abortion was uncivilized.
.
 
Civilized = Abortion?
Apparently, since Ireland wasn't the only outlier in Europe.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-co...es-in-europe-have-the-strictest-abortion-laws
"In Europe, the standard approach that almost all European countries have taken has been to legalize women's access to abortion on request or on socioeconomic ground,” says Leah Hoctor, Europe regional director for the Center for Reproductive Rights, an international advocacy organization. “Twenty-five out of 28 European Union countries have done that and 40 out of 47 Council of Europe (member) countries have taken that approach."

Northern Ireland also continues to highly restrict abortion, like Ireland did, despite the rest of the UK having relatively permissive laws.
 
This is not true and the serious charge of a weak mind, at best.
If you cannot honestly answer the question, then ascribe...

Don't try to turn this on me, loser. All you do is ascribe anyone who disagrees with you "progressives liberals". Take your beating like the bitch boy that you are.
 
Let's try fixing that category error. Instead of asking whether abortion = civilized, which demands us equate an action with an abstract concept, let's ask whether access to legal, safe abortions is a signal of a liberal state. :rolleyes:

Or take it the other way around:

The current Irish constitution makes it a crime to abort even a dead foetus, or one that is a danger to the woman's health.

When the change is introduced, the maximum period for unrestricted legal abortion will be twelve weeks. After that, an abortion will only be permitted if there is real danger to the woman's health.
 
I absolutely think a woman being able to go into a medical facility to have a procedure done is far more "civilized" than doing it in a back alley with a coat hanger.

He wishes men could still club women in the head and drag then back to the cave for some holy ghost approved fornicating. He's a sick fuck.
 
lol reading these threads.
Half of the men who emote about women's rights are known assholes.
 
So, back to the only point here...

Civilization = abortion?

Why do you care? You whiny rightist bozos bitch over women busting out unwanted kids and soaking up government services.

Be happy that abortion is allowed.


Many women inherently dislike abortion, but it is a necessity to them when the no account father is a deadbeat who won't provide for his spawn.

I don't expect you to understand, you aren't a woman nor do you possess any form of empathy/logic.

Exactly how many provable times was a coat hanger used to accomplish an abortion? So tired of that friggin canard.:rolleyes:

A study concluded in 1968[20] determined that over 500,000 illegal abortions were performed every year in the United States, a portion of which were performed by women acting alone. The study suggested that the number of women dying as a result of self-induced abortions exceeded those resulting from abortions performed by another person. A 1979 study noted that many women who required hospitalization following self-induced abortion attempts were admitted under the pretext of having had a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion.[21]

You could fill the Coliseum with the amount of shit you don't know.

The familiar symbol of illegal abortion is the infamous "coat hanger" — which may be the symbol, but is in no way a myth. In my years in New York, several women arrived with a hanger still in place. Whoever put it in — perhaps the patient herself — found it trapped in the cervix and could not remove it...However, not simply coat hangers were used. Almost any implement you can imagine had been and was used to start an abortion — darning needles, crochet hooks, cut-glass salt shakers, soda bottles, sometimes intact, sometimes with the top broken off.

WHO estimates that approximately 22 million abortions continue to be performed unsafely each year, resulting in the death of an estimated 47,000 women and disabilities for an additional 5 million women. Almost every one of these deaths and disabilities could have been prevented through sexual education, family planning, and the provision of safe abortion services. Abortion pills, which began be used by women themselves in Brazil in the 1980s, can prevent many of these deaths from unsafe abortion.[22]

Consider yourself educated.

You could fill one with your bullshit as well. What study? Link it up, sister.
 
You see, I have some iota of respect for rightists who at least maintain consistency. For example, those rare breed of (usually Catholic) rightists who despise abortion, but also abhor unneccessary war, death penalty, at the same time advocating beneficial government programs for poor mothers and their chidren. At least THEY are consistent. Not these idiot GB hypocritical old rightists who half-step. Go all the way with being pro-life.
 
Ok I'd like to highlight how degenerate a vote that was....

All this vote showed is the kind of society the Irish have become in Ireland... .

I will refrain from the insults, and I'll remind I'm a centrist.


I will just say, that the United States, being a land of Liberty, and a Moral land as well, it couldn't do such a vote... .

It found it's solution in Roe vs Wade, which helped preserve for each individual both above-mentioned aspects. Liberty, and Moral. How? I'm not explaining that. You figure it out. But it's true.

Which reminds, once more, of my old saying:

The United States in the Greatest nation on this planet.



Oh, and, good luck Ireland. :devil:

Your profile tells us you're 34 & you live in Ft. Worth.

In a 2008 post, you said you're in Ft. Worth attending school.

When were you in New York? What type of position did you hold that would put in contact with women that had "a coat hanger still in place?"
