Take it down five or six levels for me, and then demonstrate to me that this is what anti-abortionists typically do. <br /><br />You know damn well that that is not how it works, and so do my other readers.<br /><br />You can't just sneak in an adjective like "profound" and expect me to accept it. Neither can the Irish government and neither can the European Court of Human Rights. The reasons why people oppose abortion are almost always shallow and stupid, and, again, you know it.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-104618529416347352010-12-25T17:49:24.931+11:002010-12-25T17:49:24.931+11:00frankly, you merely doubt something without any ev...frankly, you merely doubt something without any evidence to back it up. <br /><br />please provide evidence that the Irish people in the land of Ireland didn't spend a long time intensely debating the morality of abortion on a profoundly deep way. <br /><br />but, first, you must understand just exactly how those laws were made, defended and legally protected. <br /><br />Just because you may be pro-abortion does in no way attest to the way the Irish deeply and profoundly worked at deciding as a culture, how to deal with unwanted babies.myrananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-81286670072877206762010-12-24T23:22:29.042+11:002010-12-24T23:22:29.042+11:00You spot on here, Russell - most of, e.g., the UN ...You spot on here, Russell - most of, e.g., the UN declaration of human rights can be disarmed by reference for the statutes on the right of countries to legislate according to their own culture, tradition, et cetera. But at the same time, that international law contain these sort of clauses that let countries off if only they have clear and coherent national laws and due process, is to be expected. We would hardly ever have any sort of international consensus unless these clauses were in place.Christian Munthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373442927438898939noreply@blogger.com
