The Pro life Campaign protesting Mick Wallace’s fatal foetal abnormalities private members bill on abortion.
They claim those supporting the bill are doing a “real disservice to families of babies with life limiting condition, particularly those who have been pressured to abort their child”.

Why is always the ugly ones?
Then someone like you comes along and shows us what ugly really is.
Bit unnecessary alright.
what do they mean by life limiting conditions?
the fatal in FFA is fairly limiting alright.
It’s emotional manipulation to make people identify with a living being rather than one that’s dead and so guilt people into thinking maybe they should do what the pro-life campaign say and not what they personally believe.
It makes me so angry when they come out with this stuff. For women like me who have been in that situation it is sickening. I was so lucky that I was able to choose to go abroad. That I had that option available to me, financially. Because however hard it was to have an abortion, carrying a baby, feeling it move and falling in love with it, then watching it die is incomprably harder.
How dare they dress their agenda up as concern for mother and baby. They couldn’t care about me and the baby that was as good as dead inside me.

Sorry to hear it Meadowlark
I’d love to hear their reply to you story Mildred. It would be probably something straight from their bank rollers the Westbrook churches handbook.
Wish someone would limit their fuppin lives!
Not really.
But a bit.
Good to see the nuns out in their non formal wear here.
Forcing women to continue a pregnancy against her will is fairly pressured.
Some people want to end it, some will want to continue, its up to the woman concerned to make that decision in the privacy of her medical care.
Everyone else should just bugger off. Mother nature can be a complete bitch on occasion.
Agree 100%. Its about choice for women and allowing them control over their own bodies.
Pro-cisely. Mother Nature don’t care – she like a banker just looking at the bottom line.
Like a commander behind the lines ordering the troops into battle.
yes. absolutely!!
Its about choice you pinheads! Choice!
Not all pregnancies will lead to abortions if it is legalized.
If these people care so much for every single human life why don’t they go down to the quays along the Liffey and rescue the junkie babies/toddlers from their strung out parents??
Because that would require actual effort, much more than holding a placard, and saying ‘I’m outraged’.
the milk in my coffee curdled…
Love them both?! Cora Sherlock and her brainwashed crew there don’t give a a flying f**k about the woman who finds herself with an unwanted pregnancy. I can’t stand her and her moralizing on other women’s bodily rights.
“babies with life limiting condition”
Bit of a front bum, aren’t ya, Cora?
Cora’s been equating a woman having a termination for medical reasons with killing “sick babies”. She and her ilk are such nasty peices of work.
aka anti choice
aka..when is lunch?
So where’s the love they’re going to show to women forced to continue a non viable pregnancy against their will? I’d like details of what this love will involve because at the moment, it sounds like the most hateful, abusive love I’ve ever heard of.
I’d love to know what happened to pro-life campaigners over the years. Not the ones at the top, the young foot soldiers.
Just wonder if any of them ever had to face the reality of their campaign on a personal level?
I reckon the ones with daughters who got pregnant shamed them and forced an adoption. The ones with sons who “got a girl in trouble” were given a wad of money and told to sort it out in England and to never see the trollop again.
Bless me father
I blessed the rains down in Aifrica
Big crowd.
The less is the less – thank heavens
Ah look, is this the same Emma Sisk who writes about a trip to Medjugorje two years ago?
http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/features/the-pilgrims-progress-why-this-24-year-old-chose-to-go-to-medjugorje-for-her-summer-holidays-289977.html
She writes about how hard it it is to be a young catholic in Ireland. Nice to see that she is busy now daming other women who want to take control of their bodies, all on the basis of her religious intolerance.
This catholic need to control other people is just mind boggling – would they not just mind their own business?!
isn’t Medjugorje not even recognized by the Vatican as an official religion site? She cant even get her Catholicism right.
Well done to Aifric Ni Fhloinn, Cora Sherlock, Emma Sisk and Lorraine Mc Mahon for defending the rights of both mother and the unborn child. It takes great courage to do so well done to all.
Which rights of pregnant women are they defending?
To give them the right to cede all their rights and become walking incubators, or alternatively strapped down incubators that get sliced open.
What about getting force fed?
it is courageous.
No, it takes courage to make the decision to have an abortion when the baby inside you has no chance of survival. It takes courage to decide to carry that child to full term in the knowledge that it will be born only to die minutes or hours later.
It does not take courage to be self-righteous and moralistic, judging women for their private decisions, whatever they may be. And that is precisely what this lot are up to.
LOL
Woman hater
No, it’s not at all one iota courageous in anyway. Where are they in danger? Oh, they’re not. The pain they have is a choice. Courageous me hoop.
I’d have more respect for them if they said it’s because God says so.
I kind of don’t blame them, though. The argument that an imaginary old man in the sky doesn’t like it but refuses to do anything about it, despite being omnipotent isn’t that compelling.
I remember reading an article about a youth defence meeting in one of their founders home. Nothing too unusual about the house, Padre Pio picture along with John Paul II picture on the Mantle-piece and in the hall a Madonna and Child statue with a strategically positioned plastic ball to cover the baby’s genitals from pure catholic sight. That always struck me as bizarre – a so called religious statue, would cause them offence.
Nirvana originally wanted to cover the visible baby-penis on the cover of Nevermind with a sticker reading ‘if you’re offended by this you must be a closet paedophile’. Probably applies here too.
class, I never knew that
love both indeed, if one or both are going to die due to childbirth what good is love going to do.
