COIR's Lisbon Treaty Stance

[Lthse]

We already have an agreement with the E.U. so they can not force abortion on us!!!

Beware the evil E.U. s out to get us!!!!

Well it depends on your interpretation of evil.

OH GOD,i was being sarcastic!!!!!!!

[Lthse]

OH GOD,i was being sarcastic!!!!!!!

Well I wasn't talking about evil in the traditional religious interpretation, just assumed you had some particular meaning to the statement. Obviously not.

Yes, abortion is available in other E.U. states and people can leave the country an go to another E.U. state to get one (and avoid the ban) but they cannot get one in this country, they were claiming that the E.U. would force the Republic of Ireland to bring in abortion, which was untrue!!!

No, we have some cases of abortion here in Ireland which are not against the law.

An abortion can happen indirectly as a result of standard medical care for the mother, eg a pregnant woman who needs an emergency heart transplant.

Who is Brian Hickey who Coir claims to be a "legal expert" on the Lisbon Treaty, he is neither a practising Barrister, Solicitor or Academic Lawyer. So who is he and does anyone know?

[Lefronde]

Got handed this on the way out of Mass this morning:





Good to see that they've a very professional campaign organised. Some very intelligent people will be speaking at Mount Argus next Sunday.

Intelligent my hole... a professional campaign paid for by members of OPUS DEI!

He's a teacher and a trainee barrister. Very intelligent chap. Good to see young people standing up for what they believe in.

[Cael]

Oh yippee. More Cóir lies. Last time they stood outside schools telling parents that if they voted yes their kids would all be conscripted!

And Irish soldiers are already in Afganistan.

[Cael]

I think it shows the "democratic" credentials of the pro Lisbon camp. Not only do they refuse to accept that they were defeated on this question, but now they try to say who can and can't campaign. I say good on Cóir - keep up the good work.
