5 REASONS TO VOTE NO IN THE REFERENDUM * 5 REASONS WHY WOMEN WILL LOSE
1. It will deny women who are suicidal as a result of a crisis pregnancy the right to have an abortion in Ireland-the X case of 1992, which allowed a 14 year old suicidal rape victim to have an abortion, will be overturned
2. It will criminalise women who try to perform an abortion on themselves- and anyone who helps a woman to get an abortion in Ireland. They will face twelve years in prison.
3.It will restrict existing medical practice by preventing doctors performing life-saving terminations, which only will be allowed
- in a number of 'approved places - where there is an immediate risk the woman may die -with no provision for emergencies
4. It will not protect the morning after pill or the IUD from legal challenge
5.It will endanger the lives of women and girls by denying Health Boards the power to take a suicidal rape victim, like the girl in the C case of 1997 abroad for an abortion

Do we need another abortion refferendum? We know how people think ,there has been no major shift in opinion.Talk about a waste of money.

Someone mentioned at an anv meeting that we should just leave ms. x out of it, not use her as a political tool every abortion referendum (and there's been 5 of 'em in the last 20 years). She is a real person, somewhere, with real feelings and doesn't deserve to have her past dragged up again.
Good idea but maybe just leave out the "ms. x" bit from the title - or are the posters already printed??
why are comments always so moany??

not hippy salsa band!

from a long suffering sambista!

By the way, Happy City get our name from the motto of Dublin City, that you can see on lamposts, bins and the like on the Crest. In Latin, it is Obentia Civium, Urbis Felicitas, which translated means-

Obedient citizens make a happy city!
