To the people of Ireland…
A satirical swipe at Amnesty International by Youth Defence.

“When Amnesty International isn’t busy fighting for the rights of pimps and johns by trying to legalise prostitution, they’re working tirelessly to stop the very worst terrorists among us and the greatest threat to all human rights: babies. Little tiny babies. Specifically, by lobbying to legalize abortion, or “abertion” as they call it, in Ireland.”
Gulp.
Viral, i tells ya.
So when you say ‘abort’ in an Oirish accent it sounds like ‘abert’. Really??
Humor is a lot harder than telling women what they should do with their bodies
Abortion = Murder
No
Pathetic.
That’s weird. But it’s true that Amnesty have lost all credibility by becoming cheerleaders for abortion.
Fit you maybe but no, not true for others. Especially since they have had this vote since at least 2007.
Wow. 2007….so long ago…
I’m surprised they didn’t have it sooner tbh especially since it was quite restricted support. But did you have a point?
You don’t believe them that they support choice?
They support the wider availability of abortion. As bad as death penalty supporters.
* pinches bridge of nose, sighs deeply *
U ok hun?
‘Amnesty have lost all credibility’
No, they’ve lost credibility with those who, many of which hold religious views over medical and scientific views, are against abortion in the face of overwhelming public opinion and competent medical practice. Lets be real here, most people share their views on access to abortion. And why is everyone always acussed of being a cheerleader, like it’s all a conspiracy or something? They’re just joining everyone else in a popular campaign to remove the 8th and grant access to abortion that is in fact, already going on.
Or should be just keep pretending it’s not happening? Jaysus, remember the days when there were ‘no gay’ people in Ireland. Well it turns out they were actually there all along! Would you believe it…
“overwhelming public opinion….” Clearly :-)
According to the Red C poll 81% were in favour of widening the grounds for abortion: 45% were in favour of access to abortion as women choose, while 36% were in favour of abortion only where a woman’s life or health is at risk, or in cases of rape, incest and fatal foetal anomaly.
So that would be 81% of people polled said they agree with abortion in certain circumstances, and more than half of those people went one step further and said they believe there should be more open access to abortion. That’s an overwhelming majority right? Or, am I missing something?
Death penalty for unborn- no choice.
They’ll all vote for the Labour Party I guess, to ensure Labour are in power to deliver a vote on the 8th amendment. We should see all the other parties clamoring to declare their pro choice credentials right about now – otherwise Labour will win in a landslide. Anytime now…..
Looks like newsjustin is having problems grasping the idea that popular civil society and political representation in a parliament are not one and the same. Sorry yo, that poll is pretty clear cut, no matter how much you try to ignore the numbers.
45% is not more than half :-P
Out of the %81 polled who agreed with abortion, %45 were in favour of more open access. More than half of those who agreed with abortion want more liberalised laws.
Yeh get me brah!?
+1
“No gays in Ireland”
Turns out they were all priests!
No, it’s not.
It was a bit weird, in fairness.
(The next bit wasn’t true)
Hang on a second. What the hell is this now? There’s no way this could be anti choice. What a way to ingratiate yourself to the population, by being an american putting on an Irish accent and then laughing at every backward stereotype we have while preaching at us about our probably most backward stereotype abortion. These people can’t be this fupping dumb. This has to be a double bluff, and if not, then what’s most offensive about this is the stupidity of what of the message they are putting across. If it’s real it won’t last the night, need to make a mirror of this sharpish.
It real, their facebook and other videos confirm it.
American dollars being put to bad use as usual
They’re right about Bono though.
This is sort of you get involved in when it’s clear that nobody wants to ride you.
This is the sort of stuff you get*
This is like someone’s parody of a Youth Defence parody of Amnesty.
Also are they suggesting that Amnesty Ireland are Americans pretending to be Irish?! That’s a bit rich coming from them.
Maybe this parody appeals to their American supporters who think the quiet man was a documentary.
It’s a common distraction tactic recently. Claim the other side are taking American money before someone can point out they are.
Your first comment there is where my money is.
I’d love to abort this clinically brain dead video
At least destiny will never have to worry about having an abortion. Or getting pregnant. Or looked at with anything put disgust tinged with a tiny bit of pity
I lasted 22 seconds with it. Decided life was too short to indulge those f***ers.
The person who made this wouldn’t exist if they were aborted. This is the perfect argument for abortion.

Huh-huh Density Hard-on.
Nope, not going to do it to myself.
Who am I kidding? I’m a masochist. Of course I’ll fall for the click bait, that was fuppin’ repugnant.
Poe’s Law in da house.
It’s more pro-Destiny-life than anything else. May her/his rythm method be bulletproof.
I think it’s hilarious. Certainly a refreshing break from those condescending Tara Flynn videos anyway.
Calm down, she obviously means Northern Ireland,… I mean seriously “abert!” for “abort!”? That’s a Northern accent! :)
Honest Q: Why are they always munters?
Honest A: The non-munters are busy with other stuff like living their own lives, instead of interfering in the lives of others, born or unborn, which is none of their concern.
And remember, not ALL munters are monsters.
Look at Kathy Burke for instance, or Jo Brand, or Louis Walsh.
“Amnesty have lost all credibility”
“groupthink”
“media driven campaign”
All I need is “preborn human” and I’ll have a full house on Anti-Choice Buzzword Bingo
These people are wackos, but Amnesty ARE still a disgrace to be involving themselves in domestic political campaigns.
Amnesty International’s sole job was always to stick up for people who have been imprisoned by despots around the world for political reasons, to shine a light on these cases, let the people know they haven’t been forgotten and left to die — or worse — in a jail. To remind our own politicians that what our Saudi ‘allies’, and our Chinese ‘partners’, and our Russian ‘friends’ do to political prisoners is NOT ok.
But now Amnesty in Ireland, let by Mr O’Gorman (who is perhaps the greatest self-promoter since Trotsky) has apparently forgotten about all that boring torture stuff far away to concentrate on running political campaigns here. The fact that I agree with the stances Amnesty is taking doesn’t make it right. They should get back to their job, or else quit and form a new political campaign group fit change here.
Are Amnesty not ‘shining a light’ on a repressive injustice here?
I believe they are.
I’m sure I’m not the only one.
PS.
We all remember Trotsky.
He was in my Religion class at school actually, but we never spoke. He was very shy.
Or, they could do both *gasp*. It’s sure as hell a human rights issue for me as a woman.
That’s mostly nonsense. I’m always seeing amnesty publicise drives to stop torture. Torture is what they started with but they do more human rights now. They did mental health here, domestic violence in the UK and Ireland.
And torture and imprisonment wise they’ve been campaigning tirelessly for Ibrahim Halawa since he was imprisoned in Egypt, helping his family and lobbying the government raising awareness. They’ve been discussing that poor kid in Saudi a for weeks, they had a petition to save those girls in India who were to be raped as a punishment to their brother for his crimes.
Tell ye wha
The Repression Depression Recession Procession might be over
