Top Tory admits debate on abortion possible
 

"Don't vote for Corbyn, he'll take the country back to the 70s!"

-takes the country back to the Middle Ages-

Scaremongering by those opposed to May and the DUP.

At worst the time limit might be reduced, which may not be a bad thing. Six months is very late. A child is viable at that point and I can see few reasons why someone would leave it that late.

The Mirror may be reporting it, but a TOP TORY MINISTER actually said it.

I'm so confused how they got 10 seats in the first place.
Its really hard to suggest they shouldnt be where they are, these were always the rules. More than 50% of constituencies are happy, and thats fair.. i just dont understand how the majority of ten constituencies voted them.

Do you like the DUP?

Didn't even know who they were until yesterday - so please don't resort to all that 'hard right' garbage. They are a necessity at this time end of.

On the other hand Corbyn's dodgy links with terrorists span decades.

A former Tory minister has said MPs could vote to reduce time limits on abortion


You need to understand journalism here


The Mirror editior wants to do stories on the DUP to trigger its readers so he/she briefs the journos to go for angles. Call former ministers etc and get them to speculate on stuff and then present it as fact as most readers ignore could and may and just read it as WILL

its just a basic baiting article

Sounds terrifying, yeah. We might possibly maybe sorta get a debate about shortening the time women have to get an abortion. Oh noes.

Lol, they have two leaders, a deputy leader, but one MP. Let's pay them bare attention.

Your Jeremy Corbyn accusations hold no weight when you are keen to ignore May's selling of weapons to the middle east. Utterly hypocritical.

Aligning yourself with the DUP to save your own hide is not a necessity

FWIW, "people opposed to the DUP" is just people with morals and common sense

Nobody who truly believe in feminism could bring themselves to accept a coalition with the DUP. They are famously anti-women's rights.

And Corbyn wouldn't. If not them Sinn Fein. He would have alligned with anyone if it had made him PM. Let's not try to suggest he is any more moral than you would have us believe May is. When it comes to winning they are all the same.

I was just asking! They are necessary, its the only way to get a majority in government. But I'd imagine torys and labour supporters alike hate this.

Again scaremongering - the DUPs views on feminism will have no impact in Britain.

I think the selling weapons to the Saudis thing gets more attention than it's worth. What would happen if we stopped:
- We'd be down a fair bit of money
- We'd have even more reason to be in the bad books of people who fund terror
- They would just buy weapons from someone else anyway
I don't think the above is worth it just to moralise.

It is worrying how any would want a 24 week old child who can survive at birth being killed

Lets be quite clear. Ruth, the conservative leader in Scotland can simply direct all her MP's to vote down the government if they were to try anything in anyway dodgy. Its simply not possible for any legislation that is in anyway controversial to get passed while a minority government is in place. Whether the government like it or not, their hands are now tied until a party emerges after an election with a working majority.

This is nothing more than scaremongering.

I believe only rape victims should get abortions anyway

Of course they ****ing do, they are likely going to be part of a coalition that will run the country, if you don't think that their bigoted views won't have an impact then you are burying your head in the sand.

Maybe not just rape, things like risk of life-affecting conditions, death for either the mother or child, or incest.

So if legislature which affects women is proposed by them, do you think the Commons would vote it through?

That is already a different law i think?

It's a good thing you'll never know power then isn't it? Such a clause is plain silly, what would be your suggestion for all the children that would likely find their way into the system because their parents aren't ready to be parents or are incapable of doing so due to various circumstances? What about unfit parents that would keep the child? If you get rid of abortion then the system will become flooded and cases of abuse and neglect would likely skyrocket.

The idea of illegalising abortion is barbaric and short sighted.

It'll have the effect of normalising the idea that women's and gay rights could be repealed, a coalition legitimises the DUP. The coalition will be dangerous as **** when it comes to promoting abusive attitudes towards women and the LGBT.

Look at the EU and how the result had the effect of increasing racially charged hate crimes in it's wake. People looked at Brexit and thought that their bigotry was justified and a similar thing will likely happen here.
