I know this website is so american-centric but I want to get this out there because the referendum is fast approaching.
On the 25th of May in Ireland, we’re having a referendum to decide if the laws in Ireland that make abortion illegal will be removed or will remain.
I just want to say how important it is that we vote yes, to remove these laws from the constitution.
As of now, abortion is illegal in the Republic of Ireland unless the life of the mother is at risk of death, including suicide. It is also illegal to travel abroad for an abortion or even learn about where they can get an abortion outside of the state. Those who do so can face up to 14 years in jail.
There have been terrible things that have happened to women in Ireland that could have been prevented by allowing them to have an abortion.
One such case is of Savita Halappanavar, who went to hospital with back pains, suffered a miscarriage and died in hospital seven days later. Savita and her husband, Praveen, asked several times for an abortion but were denied because the medical team deemed her life not to be in danger. They were also told “this is a Catholic country”, and so Savita died.
There are countless of other cases and stories of Irish women who have been denied abortions or who have travelled to the UK for abortions.
Every year over 170,000 women leave the country for an abortion or order abortion pills online, risking their lives. Those who leave the country are mailed back the dead foetus.
These women face so much. Only a couple of decades ago, pregnant, unmarried woman were being locked up in laundries, where they were forced to work there for the rest of their lives away from a society that shamed and disowned them. Their babies were often given away or mistreated. They babies that didn’t survive were buried in unmarked graves, as were the woman.
Things like this could have been prevented by abortion. But my country doesn’t seem to care enough about the lives of women to help them and prevent this.
You don’t have to be Irish to reblog this. But please help spread the word and help us vote yes and change our laws for our women
Sex Ed is going to be a nightmare if genderists keep it up.
“Well, class, both males and females can be pregnant but don’t assume it is just male or females either, nonbinary people can be pregnant too. Words mean nothing and biology is a myth. :)”
Student: So how do you define male, female, and nonbinary?
Teacher: It’s however you identify so it means something different for each individual.
Student: Okay, I choose to define female as someone of the sex that can produce ova.
Teacher: That’s transphobic hate speech and I’m writing you up.
Ah, don’t worry, the females will all be sterile from the puberty blockers and the males will be stuck at Tanner 2 with Jazz.
Don’t worry, in the US sex-ed is still stuck at “don’t have sex you’ll get pregnant and die” abstinence only fuckery.
Gotta love your tags, all standing up for Planned Parenthood.
Which, not coincidentally, is the same organization that funded and supported:
That travesty of a workshop, wherein lesbian panties are barriers to trans women’s sexual equality.
So yeah, you know what?
Fuck em. They’re never getting a single spare cent out of me. I’d rather give it to Mother Fucking Pence.
At least HE’S honest about his attempts at Conversion Therapy.
Wanting to see the demise of a major abortion provider to own the libs.
Awesome.
It won’t be an abortion provider if trans activists keep up the ‘men can get pregnant too!!!’ delusion
I think that women who have had abortions should be able to comfortably walk around their college campuses without a testserical man indirectly calling them murderers at dumb protests and tabling events and you can’t change my mind
They’re literally sociopaths I’ve had protesters like this literally follow me to my apartment when I was at school lol
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.
