Love the spelling mistakes on the first picture.
What spelling mistakes?
thanks for pointing that out chimpy, we can all sleep smugly tonight.
Israel.
Mentioner of Countries.
…homesick.
Any idea on numbers?
The Irish Times estimates about 52 people showed up.
1500-2000 for pro choice, 500 for anti choice.
To quote RTE, “broadly similar” numbers…
According to ABM’s pro-choice = unemployed equation from the other day, there must have been over four thousand people there
sorry, four hundred thousand I meant
Regarding the first pic:
My wife is due a baby any day now, her first three months she had hyperemesis, it was absolutely horrible, she was confined to a bed with a bucket, she probably puked 40 times a day, she lost tons of weight, she couldn’t eat, she was in hospital at least once a week and required a drip. It was hell on earth for her and by proxy me as we have a 4 year old boy and I travel a lot for work, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It was heartbreaking to see her go through it.
We both completely understand women who terminate due to hyperemesis and its effects, it’s an awful condition.
I hope, for your child’s sake, that your attitude changes.
very constructive and well-argued opinion
sounds horrific, thanks for sharing your story, had never heard of it
It’s what Kate Middleton had and why she had to declare the pregnancy so early. And I saw loads of people criticising her, talking about how “she can’t handle a little morning sickness” and banging on about how she was being pampered because she was royal. Lots of dismissals of how awful hyperemesis really is.
+1
Too controversial for the government to deal with, they are already quite unpopular: said someone I spoke to recently working in Government.
Funnily enough, they might win a few votes , I think, if they dealt with this effectively…. Oh no, wait… They don’t ever deal with anything without screwing it up. Oh yea.
First pic – can’t spell, but hey my hair is my statement. Bad dye job and all. Let’s see that slogan tattooed.
Seriously, what spelling error? I can’t see any.
Ah, there it is, don’t be absurd, she can spell hyperemesis, it’s obviously just a simple error.
It’s spelled right though? It’s just her handwriting, right?
She spelled beginning wrong which invalidates her whole point, obviously.
No idea what this woman’s hair has to do with anything. Base and unfair comment in my opinion.
