Irish abortion laws ‘violate human rights’

IRELAND – Human Rights Watch has accused Ireland of violating women’s rights with its strict legislation on abortion. Terminating a pregnancy in the Irish Republic is illegal, unless the mother’s life is in danger. Punishable by life in prison, the only alternative for Irish women is to travel to Great Britain or the rest of Europe and pay for the operation themselves.

    The Irish people …
    The Irish people voted massively in favour of abortion on demand in the ’92 referendum. They accept the need for abortion but have a problem with the geographical location of the clinic providing the abortion ie. abortion is fine but not in my backyard. Personally I think it is a government plot to subsidize Ryanair.

    “These organisations profit on dead babies”, Um, i hate to bust your balls buddy, but the catholic church was just found out to be abducting, farming and raping children for cash over the course of 70 years. Its called the ryan report, you should read it somtime.

    If any of you were …
    If any of you were really concerned about children, you would be helping the rest of us get the catholic church away from schools, considering the organisation has a talent for child rape. But no, you dont give a shit. You only care about mindcontrolling kids and having women on a production line having catholic babies. Irish feminists and right minded people in general should be out on the streets rioting. I cant imagine what people from other european countries think.VERY EMBARRASING 4 IRELAND

    @CredoCatholicJournal. So every other country in europe are murderers and we are more moral than them? Get your head of of your ass, we are the afganistan of europe because people like you and your catholic fascist shit. How dare you give your opinions on som1 elses vagina. Pregnant women can choose when, and when not, to be pregnant. I suppose you would rather lock em all up in magdalane laundries? you and your sexually retarded philosophy. Women have sex for fun nowadays, get over it.

    Abortion is murder and well funded organisations like Planned Parenthood,IFPA have no right to sacrifice a life. These organisations profit on dead babies.

    What people do with their lives is none of my business.
    I have no RIGHT to say what a person wants to do with their body.
    If a woman or a man wants to be unconcerned about their actions its none of my business.
    In return there should be no tax money available for people that make errors right ?
    Its outrageous that abortions are funded with taxpayers $
    None of my business right ? Well my tax dollars are my business.
    That what abortions are aren’t they mother’s committing murder, outrageous.

    More government control over the individual.

    I don’t enforce my believes on anyone but no government funds (taxes) should be financing someone else’s stupidity.

    The government should provide 0 control over individuals and 0 funding for any of this bull shit.
