Educating Tweeter: 2018

Friday, December 14, 2018

A Dark Day nothing to do with December

the Termination of Pregnancy Bill has now passed the Dail and the Seanad. A few brave TDs and Senators spoke with wisdom and compassion, begging for humane amendments to be added, only to be met with triumphalism and eye-rolling, skitting and interrupting.
It's the most shameful time ever in Irish History.
But it's not over. The President may sign the Bill, but it's an unjust Law.
Tragic.
Now the Minister for Trollies is 'delighted' at the outcome. NARAL tweeted that it was 'so exciting!' Ivana Bacik said something too that you only say when you hear you've passed your exams with honours or something. Everybody it seems, is in a party mood at the prospect of killing babies in Ireland at last. 'Women will never have to travel for health care anymore,' cooed one lady named Lorraine.
Well Lorraine, because the Health Service is just not a Service at the moment, men, women and children have to travel to other jurisdictions for treatment. What about the elderly women with cataracts? What about the children with scoliosis?
Women wanting abortion will push other women down the waiting lists for gynae issues. Ill women perhaps who need biopsies for cancer, and treatment for various gynae problems.
Congratulations, all! You seem to crave it. I can almost see the first abortion carried out in Ireland as a sort of triumphal march. But they won't show any remains.
I've been on social media 'educating' all day. I will continue to open people's eyes to the hidden filth that is the abortion industry.

Many Yes voters will become Prolife Activists

I have a problem with the Media. It is not what they say it's what they don't say.

Repealers went crazy when they saw photos of preborn babies.
But there's a preborn baby on a poster advising women not to smoke during pregnancy and nobody has rung radio shows about that...go figure.
The Ultimate Hypocrisy is calling the being in the human womb a BABY if wanted and everything but a BABY if he or she is not.
If there is no life in the womb, why bother checking for a heartbeat at antenatal checks? Why keep a Kick Chart?
The prochoice side is so full of HOLES that the only way to shut the prolifers up was to ridicule us, vilify us, suppress our voices and shove 10,000 of us on a Repeal Shield.
One day the truth will come out and Yessers will repent in big numbers. They'll say:
'I never knew. RTE never showed us a scan. Why not? If this referendum was about magpie eggs, wouldn't they have shown us eggs? Baby birds maybe, hatching? Why didn't they show us the little one in the womb?' (foetus is Latin for little one)
They withheld the TRUTH and allowed us to be coerced, bullied and frightened into abortion by a constant trail of Hard Cases and the lie that pregnant women could not being treated for illness in Ireland. A LIE they got away with.
Even episiotomies were blamed on the 8th Amendment! As a midwife, this is tragi-comedy.
Ireland's Saddest Day Ever was May 25th.
But we are not done. We lost the Battle, but the War is still on. Very much on. Notice how the doctors are not running to 'serve women' in abortions? Every doctor knows every abortion ends in the death of a new human being!
Taoiseach, if you want abortions done in Ireland I suggest you quit Leinster House and put on your white coat. (probably a dirty white coat; abortion doctors are reckoned by colleagues to be the lowest in the profession) But you won't, will you? OK for other doctors to do the dirty work you began.

Make Abortion History - they said it

Wednesday, May 2, 2018

My Response

Dear Editor
I hold one of the accounts blocked by the Repeal_Shield. I see that the administrators have charged that the 8,000
accounts blocked 'have been abusive, have spread misinformation about repeal or abortion, or have engaged in consistent
trolling of pro-choice accounts.'
I trained as a nurse, midwife and public health nurse in Ireland and the UK and worked in Ireland for 20 years. When the
repeal movement began to take off, and questions began to be asked about pregnancy and birth, I thought my knowledge
would be useful. But I was in for a shock. Instead of welcoming information, many repealers were hostile. I was called a
Liar more times than I can count, a Fraud, a Plastic Paddy, (funny) a Fake Nurse, and worse!
All I was doing was sharing my knowledge and experiences during my 40-year career in healthcare, some of them around
abortion in the UK and later, here in the USA, where I live in a State which NARAL give an A grade to. I was never
abusive, never called anybody names. I never spread misinformation, and I have never 'trolled'. The problem I found
though, is that if you contradict the repeal side, they call that trolling.
Name, etc

Letter about Repeal Shield to Irish Times!

Sir, – As the administrators of the Repeal Shield twitter account, we would appreciate the opportunity to clarify some points made by Phelim McAleer.

Repeal Shield is a twitter account which uses the freely available “Block Together” tool to block accounts that we feel have been abusive, have spread misinformation about repeal or abortion, or have engaged in consistent trolling of pro-choice accounts.

Our 3,000 users have signed up voluntarily and we have blocked in excess of 8,000 accounts on their behalf.

Contrary to Phelim McAleer’s assertion, none of these accounts have been blocked because of their anti-repeal views. They have been blocked because of the manner of their engagement.

It is also important to note that Repeal Shield users can unsubscribe at any time.

However, our feedback is that the overwhelming majority find their twitter experience greatly enhanced by using the tool.

Finally, Repeal Shield is not affiliated to, or materially supported by, any of the organisations set up to campaign for repeal.

We are an entirely voluntary group set up in order to counter lies and abuse from those who oppose repeal and do not engage in respectful, civilised debate. – Yours, etc,

'Full Access' means 'Until Birth upon Request.'

FROM LINDA KAVANAGH OF ABORTION RIGHTS CAMPAIGN

"We want full abortion access. Nobody that is marching here today.... are not looking for a little bit of abortion, we want full abortion access. At the MINIMUM we want the recommendations of the 'Citizens' Assembly and we won't accept and we can't support any less than that"

To Young People, TDs, Senators

To Young People

I’m a retired nurse and a veteran of the 1983 Campaign for the 8^th Amendment. After our busy shifts on the wards, I and my friends used to go out canvassing the local housing estates to ask people to vote for the Amendment.

Why did I do this? Because I cared about you before you were born. I wanted to keep you safe. I loved you before you were even there. I knew Ireland was a safe place for a woman to be pregnant in. I still love you, and all young people. I’m happy you’re here. The 8^th Amendment has saved 100,000 lives since 1994. (Actuarial Report commissioned by the Prolife Campaign, 2016) Celebrate your life.

Abortion’s Hidden Atrocities

Every profession has its rotten apples. Dr. Kermit Gosnell was one. He ran a late-term abortion clinic at Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia. He wasn’t very good at injecting the baby with digoxin to stop the heart, so he allowed the babies to be born before he stuck a scissors into the back of the babies neck. Nobody knows how many times he did this.

Dr. Gosnell also allowed at least two women to die in his clinic. He injured several more.

He was a rotten apple.

The Authorities were alerted to his practices several times. They did nothing! Why? Because they would be accused by the media and our politically correct politicians of ‘restricting abortion access to women.’

So he went on for years.

He was eventually caught on an illegal prescription charge, when his clinic was raided. The police officers were horrified. He had ‘trophies’ – fetal feet in jars which he kept for some weird reason of his own. One thing led to another and soon the FBI were investigating why he killed live children and why women had died under his care, and why nobody listened.

The Press area at his trial was empty. The press ignored it until one journalist, named Molly Hemingway, brought this up when she was being interviewed on another topic.

He is not an Outlier, because nobody watches the abortion industry. Everybody is terrified of being told they are ‘misogynist’.

There are other testimonies about other abortionists who kill babies born alive, or who hurt women.

Ireland could have a Dr. Gosnell. Will the authorities be brave enough to bring him to trial? Will the media report the trial?

Dear TD,

We are at a watershed in our history, and your name will be associated forever with whatever you decide about the 8th Amendment.

You have a God-like decision to make. Like going to War, because this is life and death.

Women expect you to do the right thing. Most prolife people are Women.

We think legal abortion is a very bad idea. Women have better health in countries that don’t have legal abortion, like Chile and Ireland of course.

Even at 12 weeks, a baby has all her body parts. Movement is vigourous and she sees more action in one day than you or I in a year.

She shies away from intruders, like surgical instruments.

Atrocities will happen, and will be covered up, like Gosnell in the USA.

55 Babies born alive in one year in the UK. Covered up. Marie Stopes staff getting bonuses for bringing in abortion business. Covered up.

Why repeal a Law that has saved 100,000 lives? It’s like repealing the seatbelt law!

I care about Ireland’s future, Ireland’s children, Ireland’s future women especially in those communities who do not value females.

If you make something legal, people assume it’s all right, after all, the Government is supposed to pass good laws. And we did, in 1983.

Abortion is a dark, murky, secret world. If you don’t believe me, read the book about Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gosnell-Untold-Americas-Prolific-Serial/dp/1621574555 It’s not prolife, it’s not prochoice, it’s just Facts of a court case.

Irish Children Need You; Irish women depend on you to make good, life-affirming laws.

Thank you for reading this if you got this far,

I am praying to the Holy Spirit to guide you.

Beannacht Dé,

Mary (Surname)

Dear Women TDs

Please don’t claim to speak for me if you are pro-choice!

There are hundreds of thousands of Irishwomen who resent prochoice women claiming to speak for all women.

Please acknowledge that most Irishwomen are prolife, or at least, that the prolife movement, the Life Defenders, are mostly women.

In other countries, abortion is a proven Disaster for women.

Coercion is very common (30% according to Planned Parenthood’s own research institute, Guttmacher!) Independent studies put it at over 55%.

Coercion is not Choice. Some States in the USA have found it necessary to pass laws against coercion. (Michigan)

And there’s Gendercide. There are 100,000,000 missing women because the baby in the womb is a girl. And it’s fair to say that most of these are coerced abortions! Are you not outraged? I AM.

Marie Stopes have been indicted on several health and safety violations, and on hustling for abortion business.

Several studies have shown a link between surgical abortion and subsequent preterm birth. (Finland, Klemetti study for one, another in California)

It’s also true that a young woman gains a measure of protection from breast cancer when she continues to birth. (that is also why, when you go for a mammogram, they ask you what age you were when you had your first baby). This is not part of any counselling session by IFPA or Marie Stopes!

Pedophiles Love Abortion. It covers their crimes very well. They are good repeat customers so abortion clinics turn a blind eye.

Why will Ireland be any different from the USA or India or Canada or the UK? It will all happen in Ireland as well...and anybody, man or woman, who speaks out against it will be labelled ‘misogynist’ and accused of ‘restricting a woman’s access to an abortion’.

Because the only women who really care about women are prolife women

Need I mention about the link between abortion and suicide. That’s effectively covered up. Not by you women TDs I hope!

Women Silencing Women

Melissa Ohden, the abortion survivor from the USA, has been effectively shut down and silenced by other women. There are five women in her story. Four were good women; one was bad. Her grandmother who coerced her birthmother into an abortion and when the baby was born alive, ordered her left to die.

The silencing by other women has hurt Melissa, a feminist, more than the fact that her grandmother was an evil woman who wanted her dead. Like many other women with a bad abortion story to tell, she was going to give up speaking about her rights as a human being.

But her birthmother, with whom she is now in contact, told her: ‘You have to keep speaking up. You are the only person who has ever spoken up for me.’

https://melissaohden.com/

Some of you are in favour of abortion for the first 12 weeks.

Little Ones from 7-12 weeks (foetus is Latin for ‘little one) react just as you and I if attacked with a knife, arching, evasive movements, screaming.

The First Feminists were prolife. The New Wave Feminists, that bunch of sassy, tattooed women, are prolife also.

Be 21st Century. Be Prolife.

Thank you for reading this, if you got this far.

Praying for the Holy Spirit to guide you to protect Ireland’s future.

Dear Mr. Harris

Here in the USA I heard about your speech yesterday. How sad to hear a doctor speak like you did, about the women who make up the prolife movement. Many of us are health professionals, including myself. Many have had abortions.

I have a bad memory of assisting at an abortion in the UK when I was a student midwife. It is my greatest regret. Especially since it was a coerced abortion on a 17-year old girl, her 2nd abortion. I am a prolife activist because I saw abortion.

As I was doing my rounds one night on the antenatal ward, I came by a weeping patient. She was miscarrying her 16-week baby. She said that she was ‘being punished by God’ for a previous abortion. I comforted her and told her that God is not like that.

Years later, I found out that perhaps Mother Nature is not as forgiving. Abortion can damage the cervix.

But nobody tells the women seeking abortions.

Marie Stopes has been hurting women for years! – their staff get bonuses for bringing in abortion business! (Care Quality Commission, 2017). They even ring up women who have changed their minds and offer them another appointment. Ireland is an untapped market...if repeal happens I hope they are refused entry, their standards are abysmal. Add to that, the bulk signing of consent forms, dead foetus’ left in open bins and the CQC examiner had to intervene when they were forcing an abortion on a terrified developmentally delayed woman who did not know what was going on. She had been abused.

Abusers of course love abortion. Clinics turn a blind eye. They are good repeat customers.

I am convinced, from my observation (38 years since I assisted at that abortion) that the only women who really care about other women’s health, are prolife women! Norma Corvey of Roe vs Wade became a prolife activist – she knew she had been used.

An unborn child is not a Nothing. Never.

I wish you had not been swayed – do you really want the name of Mr. Simon Harris to be forever associated with doing away with a lifesaving Law?

That’s your choice.

All of our hearts are touched by women who have devastating diagnoses about their unborn babies. Is it not much better for those poor babies who will die to receive loving touches and kisses, than the ‘paralysing agent’ injected into them, and by the way, is there an anaesthetic in that drug? If not, I shudder to think of what they suffer, for many take place after 18 weeks when pain receptors and developed but natural pain inhibitors are not.

There are photos of babies with agonising expressions on their dead little faces. I won’t send you one.

The First Feminists were against abortion. New Wave Feminists, young sassy women, are prolife also.

Women in countries with restrictive abortion laws have better health than USA or UK. Be 21st Century. Be pro-woman. Be prolife.

Thank you for reading this.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Notes given by a PR consultant to a pro-choice group. Dont have any details of who, when or where. Passed by an anonymous source. See what the other side is up to in Ireland.

(Note wrong spelling of Savita throughout) 1. Campaign must focus on under 45 demographic. 2. Pro-life = Catholic = institutional abuse, corruption, power. 3. Patriarchal. When having debates with PL groups try to push this word. Example I respect your patriarchal view of women's rights. 4. Cut the debate with PL men. Example I respect your view, however it's difficult to debate women's rights with a men who will never face this choice. 5. Be careful using Twitter, Facebook. Keep the pressure on but don't be abusive. Form groups, three responses for every PL tweet or post. Don't attack people unless you have good reason. One liners are ok, wear them down. Avoid being blocked. 6. Organise competition to get students over 18 registered to vote. They can be lazy but very effective. 7. Put pressure on local representatives to get the vote on a Friday or Saturday before students leave university. 8. Revive the home to vote campaign. 9. When debating with clergy be respectful. Praise them for their good work but firmly disagree with an institution which is patriarchal misogynistic and out of touch with women. Example the day when the Catholic Church talks about morals in Ireland is gone. Women have learned to make their own choices. Avoid personal attacks, attack the institution. 10. Remain calm. Stay on point. When in doubt deflect. 11. Crying at the right moment can be an advantage for a woman. But can't be used too often. 12. Don't allow PL to talk too much, get your word in. Talk over them if their logic is capturing the attention of the audience. 13. When they mention baby, remind them that religious emotional rhetoric is not helpful in the debate. 14. Sarvita , Sarvita , Sarvita 15. If appearing on TV dress as if you are going to an interview. 16. Be organised as a group. If there is a pro-choice spokes person on TV or radio ensure you have whatsapp groups setup to notify members so they can support with texts and tweets to the show. 17. Get men involved to promote choice, Colm O'G is a good example and presents well on TV. 18. The last presidential campaign was won with a tweet. We don't encourage using fake accounts, however they can be effective to muddy the waters. We think PL groups use the same. 19. Press PL speakers to voice their views on rape & Incest victims being refused the choice in Ireland. Make sure you keep their views linked to the Catholic Church. 20. Make PL views a religious dogma. When debating you can say you respect your views which many Catholics share in Ireland. However those who don't share those religious views want a choice. 21. Try and get pro-choice supporters into the audience. Encourage them to clap and support you. 22. If debating with a PL person who is not Irish, deflect the focus by saying as an Irish woman, or do you have a vote in this? We have seen PL bring over some Americans to give speeches. 23. There is a march on the 10th of March. Get out on the pavements, form a line along the march. Maybe get t-shirts of sarvita for example. Make sure you get media time. Be very visible, however do not engage or be abusive. Get the media spotlight. 24. Get as many doctors and medical professionals involved as possible. If they are marching ensure they are dressed in hospital attire. 25. Remember to push the word choice. Nobody is being forced to have an abortion we just want the choice. 26. Bring a pea to the debate. Show the audience the size of what is being aborted. Ask them should something the size of a pea have rights over a woman. 27. Remind people that most abortions happen in the first 8 weeks. Use the pea example. 28. Good example is to mention that most abortions are similar to miscarriage. Be careful not to offend. Say abortion is a very very difficult situation for many women, they don't take the choice lightly. Practice carefully this role play. Get the script right. 29. If PL talks about statistics of women who have depression etc.. use the stats we have printed. Be on point and quote studies attached. 30. If you see PL propaganda in hospitals, schools or universities make sure to lodge a complaint. UCD impeachment was excellent work. 31. Keep strategy secret. Delegate to people but keep them focused on specific tasks. 32. Do not dress in black, march as normal professional people. Organise events after protests. Get students and unemployed involved. 33. Make sure your march is always bigger than PL. Make sure everyone marching has a placard. Maybe add ballons for choice to the march. 34. Link PL to Trump, Breitbart, alt-right. Say "your views are shared with many on the extreme right". 35. Use the cheat sheet attached for debates. Learn the stats. Quote from the studies and be confident. 36. Watch the pro-life debates on the DVD. Form groups to discuss and be on point.
