ANTI-ABORTION TDS have proposed that the remains of a foetus be either buried or cremated following the terminations of pregnancy.


Other amendments put forward by the TDs include that it should be an offence for a person to sell or offer to sell a foetus or the bodily remains of a foetus which
has been the subject of a termination of pregnancy.

They also want women who take abortion pills at home, without the authorised supervision of a medical profession, to be guilty of an offence.

At least 24 hours before a termination is carried out, the TDs want it included in the law that a medical practitioner be obliged to perform ultrasound imaging of the foetus and recording of the foetal heart tone.

The TDs also want it written into law that the pregnant woman be offered the opportunity to view the active ultrasound image of the foetus and to hear the heartbeat of the foetus, if the heartbeat is audible

No, they aren't. A woman shouldn't have to go through any sort of shaming or grief for it.

agreed, women are deserving of respect and not to be criminalised for taking pills in their home, be forced to have a burial etc following an abortion

Why is that bad? I think it's a good thing for people to have a chance to reflect on the big decision they are about to make. I'm sure the number of people who can walk into a clinic and just emotionlessly get it done are very rare. That is going to be a decision that weighs on most people for the rest of their life. The bad laws are the ones that try to apply stupid things to prevent people or the dumb funeral shit.

Forgot to quote this bit

It suggests that woman be requested to view the active ultrasound imaging and hear the sound of the foetal heart tone.

Women would have to sign a certificate to state that this was carried out and offered. A medical practitioner who fails to do could face a prison sentence of between 12 months to four years under the proposed amendment.


Like seriously wtf

I know that you were brutally raped by a gang and that you are only 13, too young to take care of a baby of your own, but look at this picture and listen to these heartbeats, wouldnt it be nice to keep it and be reminded daily of what happened?

Living means currently alive. Pretty sure they're listed by synonym strength meaning Living is prioritised over Life.

And how many do you think rush into it without even truly thinking it? A google search shows anywhere from 5% to 30% come to regret it depending on the bias they're trying to push. I think taking a second to sit down and reflect on the reality of it is a good thing. It's ultimately her choice, but it is not a choice that should be made without some kind of reflection.

Literally doesn't matter. That's their choice and they should get to choose exactly how much thought they put into it.

Any major elective life altering procedure should come with some kind of buffer period. I'm entirely pro-choice, but I think we're going too far down the rabbit hole of "it's not a big deal." It's a big fucking deal.

No.

Any major life altering procedure should be GIVEN a buffer period. But if they decide not to, that's their choice and they shouldn't have it forced on them.

recording the 'heartbeat' of a foetus and offering women the chance to listen to it and making them sign a certificate to that effect sounds like a totally reasonable way to incorporate a 'buffer' and not at all a way of emotionally exploiting people
