He does seem to be employing dubious statistics, though. At leat based on the screenshot ...he shared...

eurgh. I think a lot of them probably delude themselves that they aren't just posting. but they are just posting. they're christians the way QAnon followers are political activists.

Isn't this just how every tech company starts out? Google just want to help you find things on the web. Facebook just wants you to help connect with friends. We are very serious people doing serious work for humanity and you need to listen to us, and possibly give us things for free. It's all about positioning.

Great to hear that. I did hear about the recent election but wasn't sure where things were, what Tusk's views are etc.

Pipebombs are more of an evangelical thing. Catholics prefer to use legal evil to block abortion access.

Tradcathery has the fascist hallmark of being an obviously modern/modernist ideology that claims to be an ancient religious tradition. Tradcathery as we know it today is very online. EA is also very online, and increasingly sour about social liberalism. Match made in hell.

Ah, shameless propaganda.

I'm really sorry. During 2018 Irish feminists were really looking to Poland, there was even an Irish "Strike for Repeal" modelled on the Polish women's strike. Horrific stories are leaking out from America too. I really think Irish abortion activists need to do more to show solidarity with countries where abortion is threatened or banned.

There are many horrible examples from 20th century Ireland - as well as stillbirths or accidental deaths. Several are mentioned in the "Letters to Ann" radio documentary, based on correspondence received by a popular Irish radio programme in the early 80s.

I think there have been large scale longitudinal studies in the US that recorded a drop in infanticide in states with legal abortion - of course this boyo doesn't mention any studies like that, even to criticize them. because this is a plain ol' anti-abortion polemic, not a literature review - all the sources and statistics are there for purely cosmetic purposes.

Ah just like the prolife campaigner I argued with recently who said that in his* ideal world, abortion, contraception, and the morning-after pill would all be illegal. Apparently having an abortion is "irresponsible" because you're acting as if it's "someone else's problem". That really threw me for a loop. I mean, it's not like you can get someone else to have the abortion for you! He justified a contraception ban along the same lines - that people needed to accept the consequences of having sex, or something. I suggested to him that contraception was actually very effective at preventing abortions, and he frowned as if he couldn't understand what I was saying.

*Yes, he was a cis man who has never been pregnant or made anyone else pregnant. Sure, what else would you expect?
