Absolutely true. I knew a nurse that worked at a well-known abortion clinic in town. She said that more than once, the most ardent of protestors would quietly have an abortion one day, and be right back on the street outside screaming with placards the next day. Apparently they were comfortable with their own…

There are women being jailed for having miscarriages in the US already!

“Crown prosecutor Kate McKay said that on 20 July 2014 [the police] were contacted by the woman’s housemates...”

Ok FUCK THIS. And also FUCK HER ROOMMATES.

Right, but Catholic opposition to abortion is well-founded on both sides of the border in Ireland. Sinn Fein, the main party for the nationalists in the north, is still reasonably opposed to abortion except in certain circumstances, as does the SDLP, which is the runner-up party amongst the nationalists. The unionists…

And for the record, those signs in that photo were probably paid for with good aul US dollars. I’m Irish and part of the reason we (the Republic) and Northern Ireland still have anti-abortion laws is because the pushiest, loudest, biggest, most obnoxious anti-abortion lobbying groups are donated money hand over fist…

Hahaha when I was a kid coming out of church everyone was swarming across the street to the high school parking lot and not using the cross walk. Some driver being held up by the inconsiderate churchgoing pedestrians hollered out his window”Gawddamned catholics!” Total family joke henceforth.

I feel the need to clarify that “poison” appears to be just the charge. These are common abortion drugs. I took misoprostol for a missed miscarriage. It wasn’t poisoning. It would certainly be preferable if she was taking the drugs with a doctor’s instruction, but the drugs themselves can be a great alternative to…

There was this horrible, sad occurrence in Ireland a few years ago. Denial of women’s rights and health isn’t just for the third world.

Not pro-life. Not pro-child. Not pro-woman. Not pro-family. Pro-forced birth. Pro-keeping women subservient to men.

well there are more Protestants then Catholics in northern Ireland.

Abortion is 100% illegal here as well and I've had people argue that we do not need to allow abortion in case of danger to the mother's life because mortality rates related to pregnancy are very low. Women dying from illegal abortions don't matter to them, even when it's so very obvious that many, if not all, of them…

Yes, who gives a fuck about the actual living, loved, cared for human child here? We’re discussing the much more important fetuses.

(insert sound of me grinding my teeth)

Also, the fuck is with the accompanying picture? Safer cuddling up with that baby they didn’t want? Safer AFTER the risk of pregnancy, complications, and birth has passed? Safer being in financial or emotional distress? Yeeeaaaah, Okay.

Be warned, fellow women of America: this may be our immediate future!

Cool.

You know those times when you just can’t let something slide? Those signs.... “Women are safer without it.” It’s an outright lie. If people have to lie to convince people of their side, they’re on the wrong side. I just can’t let this pass without calling it out.

Worst. Housemates. Ever.

goddamn catholics
