People in New York don't live in Ireland why do they care if abortion is still illegal? Get over it NY Times.

[Richard Axtell]

Distortion in the media is both interesting and frustrating. When they say “Draconian” laws, are they saying that saving and preserving innocent unborn children is “Draconian”, but to have the same babies dismembered and killed, then disposed of or having their body parts used in Frankenstein like experiments is “normal and mainstream”? Certainly a distorted set of values is necessary to accept this characterization, or a complete lack of values more likely.

Why is it the NYT’s business?

“Yeginsu underlined the story’s tone of the modern age fighting a moralistic Catholic backwater”

The DUP are a Protestant Unionist party, they are the one’s most in favor of the ban remaining in place.

Draconian.... I thought reptoids eat people and prefer “veal”.....

So it should be anti-draconian prolife laws

[Verginius Rufus]

Draco's laws were supposedly very harsh (the death penalty for every crime), but in ancient Greece it was OK to abandon an unwanted child (either to die of exposure, be killed by an animal, or be rescued by someone who would raise the child as a slave). Giving birth was safer than having an abortion.

So Northern Ireland's laws are far removed from anything Draco would have enacted into law.

They know full well that abortion destroys societies.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So it’s Draconian to not allow a woman to murder her unborn children?
