Head scratching here too. Is it to trivialise motherhood? Devalue children? Or just attention seeking. It seems like a subtle pressure to abort.
Time is a luxury. Insist on it. Keep the 3 day wait, because we are worth it.

Am I missing something? Why is this being tabled again. Im pro-choice, but believe the 3 day wait is warranted, given the gravity of the decision. You have stat 14 day cooling off periods for purchasing white goods, so why are the political class determined to remove this? 🤔

Over 10,000 women didn't return for the second appointment after the 3 day wait.
We asked the chair of the abortion review Marie O'Shea if she followed up with these women.
The answer was no.
Women's voices matter but apparently not those women.

How odd - it's been several days since the head of the Hope and Courage Collective made a verifiably false claim on live TV, saying "We're not [funded by the State] actually", when they are, yet there's been no sign of The Journal's fact check yet. Any day now I'm sure. 🤪

The Hope and Courage collective NGO received €68k from the Dept. of Equality in just one year (link: shorturl.at/gu0sC). In 2024 they also received €14k from IHREC, a taxpayer-funded State agency (link: shorturl.at/WDY0G). None of their income came from donations.

Were you guys listening when a similar bill failed a couple of weeks ago? Is there nothing else that needs attention? Seriously? Abortion? For What died the Sons of Róisín?

So, roughly 2,000 women annually change their minds after the first consultation in this 3 day period.
Is this not the very definition of "choice"?
Why is this being pushed constantly?

Aontú is committed to the right of the Irish people to govern ourselves.
We oppose this government's outsourcing of decision-making to London, Brussels or Berlin.
We seek full Irish independence across the 32 counties.

. An examination question alleging men can become pregnant is absurd. Hopefully students who correct this error in their answer get full marks. The leaving cert. Once the gold standard in Irish education is now reduced to woke unscientific culture.

Depressing to see how the govt is shaping up to go into ecstatic EU overdrive, all the while the hardships of many will deepen.

How did Alodid enter Ireland? On what visa? @OCallaghanJim
Jun 12
Whilst British authorities were very quick to provide details of Belfast beheading accused Hadid Alodid arrival in Belfast on 10 Feb 2023, and his asylum process and British ministers are now being challenged, and there is even some detailed reporting on Alodid's journey from Sudan to France, we are now four days on and there hasn't been a peep out of Irish authorities.
When did Alodid fly from Paris to Dublin? What airline? What documentation did he have? Was the airline fined for allowing him BOARD without documentation? Did he claim asylum in Dublin?
Irish authorities have form for ridiculous ineptitude (or worse), meet the 26-year old male Afghan asylum seeker below with the girl's name. You'll recall with the prosecution of Habib Shamel Shah for a murder in Limerick that Irish authorities didn't know if Shah was 27 or 32 years old, or if he arrived in Ireland in October 2022 or October 2020.
Four days after the Belfast attack, we have details on the accused's history in N Ireland, and we have history of his journey from Sudan to France. But Ireland is a black box, and it's beginning to look sinister that Irish authorities can't disclose the details.

Dublin City Council dumps €155,000 worth of ‘completely useless’ Re-turn bin surrounds
So much of the Re-turn project is being made up on the hoof by people with no practical experience in anything.

The government refused to answer these questions in relation to the Belfast attack during the week.
Indeed they attacked me for asking.

Sent into us from a new mother who was surprised to note that “mother” is not mentioned once in this information leaflet she was given following the birth of her baby.
Is this how the Irish health service see women who carry and give birth to new generations?
Why use such nonsense language that airbrushes mothers out of their own experience?

Jason Osborne argues that Irish journalists are "far more Left-leaning than the general public" and that many official institutions are captured by liberal groupthink.

This is the report that has shaped the new Belongto program that is now targeting every single primary school in Ireland.
It has been overseen by Aoife Neary. You need to read this tread and understand what is coming into to primary schools

What do we know in Ireland about Somalia? 97 mostly single male Somalis landed here this week.
Jun 11
This week's asylum arrivals report in the article below is a cracker! Biggest number of weekly "arrivals" in more than six months, 97 Somalis alone, mostly single adult males, nearly all arriving into Ireland via N Ireland.
Last week's 257 "arrivals" will cost us €31m in processing costs.
The British are tightening up the Common Travel Area after the Belfast beheading. What is FF justice minister Jim O'Callaghan doing on this side of the Border? Twiddling his thumbs???

We sent the Taoiseach a copy of a petition that has been signed by well over 60,000 Irish citizens.
It demands that the government does not to participate in the EU Migration Pact.
The EU migration pact is bad for Ireland.
It does not have public support.
