CONTRADICTIONS OF PRO-ABORTION/PRO-CHOICE

There are so many contradictions in the debate around the 8th amendment. Here are a few I have been studying...
1. It's not a baby, it's a clump of cells BUT abortion is a traumatic experience for a woman and not entered into lightly...Why?
2. It's not a baby, it's a clump of cells BUT abortion should only be legal up to 12 weeks...Why?
3. Abortion on demand should be legal only up to 12 weeks BUT it should be legal to abort a baby with an alleged "fatal foetal abnormality" at any time...Why?
4. There is agreement with abortion for fatal foetal abnormalities or in cases of rape or incest BUT not for other reasons...Why?
5. "I couldn't have an abortion BUT I believe women should have the choice"...Why?
6. Pro-life supporters are accused of resorting to emotional language by calling the unborn a 'baby' BUT abortion supporters talk about rape, incest, sexual abuse and fatal foetal abnormalities as justification for abortion...Why?
7. Men cannot have an opinion because they have no uterus and cannot get pregnant BUT women who have had a hysterectomy, have gone through menopause or are unable to conceive can have a opinion...Why?
8. The pro-abortion argument is that we shouldn't force women to become mothers by giving birth BUT the constitutional article 40.3.3 labels a pregnant woman as already a mother by virtue of the pregnancy itself...why? What is she a mother of?? Cells?
9. The death penalty was made illegal in Ireland in 1990 for all crimes (including rape and incest) BUT pro-abortion campaigners want to make it legal to kill the innocent product of rape and incest...why?
10. The Oireachtas Committee want abortion available at any time if there is a diagnosis of foetal "abnormalities" that might cause the death of the baby before or "shortly" after birth BUT the same TDs and Senators voted to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, under which abortion for reasons of disability is a violation...Why?
11. Abortion campaigners frame abortion as a women's rights issue BUT in all countries where abortion is legal, it is acknowledged (even if not promoted) that sex selection forms part of the abortion business and females are aborted purely for being female...Why?
12. Abortion campaigners frame abortion as a women's health issue BUT disregard the studies which show a much higher rate of depression and anxiety among women who have had an abortion when compared to women who have continued the pregnancy to birth...Why?
13. Abortion campaigners frame abortion as a human rights issue BUT the Universal Declaration of Human Rights does not list abortion as a human right...Why??
14. Abortion campaigners frame abortion as a human rights issue BUT the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that "the child...needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth"... Why?
15. Abortion campaigners frame abortion as a human rights issue BUT disregard scientific studies which prove that even a fertilised egg is an autonomous, living being...Why?

ANSWERING THE ARGUMENTS OF PRO-REPEAL

ANSWERING THE ARGUMENTS OF THE PRO-REPEAL CAMPAIGN I attended a debate recently on retaining or repealing the 8th Amendment. At this debate certain arguments for repeal were put forward by both the panel and the audience. In this article I want to look at those positions, take them out of the context of the abortion debate, apply exactly the same arguments to our other laws and see how valid they really are. 1. An unborn baby is in the woman's body and therefore she should have complete autonomy over what happens in her own body. Q. If this is true, why then can I not walk into any surgeon and demand that he severs my healthy leg or arm because I do not want it anymore? It is my body. I am making an informed decision. I know that I will have to live with my decision. Why can I not ask for that as part of my own healthcare? A. We do not have complete bodily autonomy anywhere else in law. Even our constitutional right to bodily integrity is restricted by the law especi...

TRUTH, FORGIVENESS AND LOVE

Today as I read all the anti-abortion articles on my news feed and look at what I, myself, have posted, there is no doubt that I emphatically stand on the side of not wanting abortion to become available in Ireland. I vehemently oppose those who have reduced childbirth to a problem that is akin to having a 'parasite' feeding on a pregnant woman's body. That school of thought is despicable!! However, I would also like to add that in no way am I forgetting that behind the 'deba te' are real women who have already made the journey to England to have an abortion, knowing that it would end the life of a baby. To those women, who made that decision in the midst of fear, vulnerability, loneliness, massive doubt and a hundred other emotions that have no words, I want to say that, as a Christian, I know that there is forgiveness and restoration for you in Jesus. I truly believe that if you struggle with guilt, regret, despair or depression because of an abortion, Je...

Personal Human Rights - Article 40 - Inalienable, Antecedent to and Superior to Positive Law

Personal Human Rights - Article 40 - Inalienable, Antecedent to and Superior to Positive Law  Our human rights are not given to us BY the Constitution. The Constitution merely recognises that they exist and should be defended against attack. These rights are antecedent to and superior to positive law, which means they exist outside of the written law on a higher level than written law. They are inalienable, meaning we cannot give them away. They are ours because we are human beings. The government doesn't give them to us and it should not be able to take them away. Th at's why the founding fathers chose to give the people of Ireland the power to choose what rights we want to remain protected in our State, by our Constitution.  The only way we can lose rights is to give someone else the right to take it away. The government has no business canvassing to remove constitutional rights of unborn babies in this State. The State is charged to defend and protect those righ...
