hooray for maintaining momentum on this!
“Momentum” on taking the life of an innocent, unborn human being.
No, the momentum in the campaign for bodily autonomy. Glad to clear that up for ya.
There are more people claiming to be “artists” outside the GPO than there were others claiming they were inside it in ’16!
does anybody get the irony here a group of people who want abortions celebrating birth in song?
Stop that.
well steve, one issue is real and the other is a time of year to do with religion which isn’t real at all.
Not all Christmas songs are about a virgin giving birth to a child that’s his own father. Some celebrate the pre-christian hijacking season of Yuletide. Others celebrate the venality and commercialism (12 Days of Christmas). There’s passages in the bible dedicated to celebrating god’s several mass murder sprees. All that “pharoah, his chariots and his horsemen” stuff at easter glorifying god’s bloodlust? Creepy!
Many women have been told their miscarriage was “god’s will”, so god aborting a baby is okay, but a woman doing it isn’t?
Your one bitter pitiful effort.
Bit rich coming from you
Also it’s *you’re*, clever boy.
You’ve raised lot of points here to try to refute the point that this is people singing about abortions to the tune of songs written to celebrate a birth. But one point in particular…..what does the 12 days of Christmas have to do with commercialism??
You don’t think buying 364 presents for someone over 12 days is about christianity, do you?
Ah. The song….got ya. Yeah – carry on.
All the songs were re-written to have pro-choice messages.
“We wish you a merry abortion…” etc?
“Have yourself a merry little forced birth.
Kept on life support
8th amendment gives your foetus much more rights.
Though your kids see your bloated corpse
Rotting brains and all, it’s fine.
Foetal heartbeat takes precidence
over your dignity and rights…”
Was that one of the carols that was sung?
It’s not very catchy.
Unquestionably there is an inadequate number of babies killed in this world. Surely the Greens can get behind this?
If you have knowledge of babies being killed, please go to the gardai.
Nah! Dump them in a septic tank.
God will forgive you.
*You’re* fit for the septic tank yourself.
I hear there is at least one or more religious persons in RTE trying to discourage coverage of the Repeal movement. Is that not contrary to their Public Charter and utterly sinister? If the Vatican (a foreign state) are interfering in the editorial policy of RTE, then it’s akin to espionage. If I was in power, I’d have these people investigated.
Thankfully, You’ll never be in power.
“I hear”
Is this something you heard on the internet?
The chairman’s an ex-priest. ‘Nuff said.
I doubt Moya Doherty is an ex priest.
Is all your information that out-of-date?
WHAT HAPPENS IN MY VAGINA IS NOBODY’S BUSINESS BUT MY OWN
But do you still like Huey Lewis and the News?
Calm down, Shrillary.
Ha I’ll use that one at the weekend
Oh right, these will be free? Interesting.
