Thread Name: BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire
Subject: RE: BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire
The "NO" campaign is based on the hypocritical claim that all life is sacred - if the Church (the main drivers of this argument) really believed this we would be living in a war-free world many centuries ago
Pacifism is as far from Christian belief as is Devil worship
The claim of the NO campaigners is that pregnancy termination is murder - yet in 2016 there were more than reported 3,000 British abortions for women from Republic with a further 724 from the Six Counties
I have yet to hear one single call from these "defenders of human life" to bring the perpetrators of these "mass-murders" to justice - why?
The Church that inspires these people has an appalling history in matters sexual - both in officers of that church carrying out sexual crime3s on children (almost certainly for centuries), and the hierarchy of the church protecting them and allowing them to continue their criminal activities.
Up to now, contraception has been regarded as a sin and so, has been forbidden in Ireland - even now, the attitude of the church is ambivalent on the subject.
An act that is natural to humanity has been turned into a necessary evil by a group of (supposedly?) celibate men
How sad is that?
