To ask what this actually means?!

[Hamandcheesebaguette]

Apart from the fact that it's obviously disgustingly racist (and my uncle has just been swiftly deleted off Facebook for sharing it)... I don't get the point that they're trying to make?!

[VogueVVague]

So why would you delete your uncle over a cartoon you dont understand?

I dont get it.

[Ted27]

I don't see it as racist.

I see it as making the point that if you are a white western woman you have legal access to services that can help you with an unwanted pregnancy.

Women from other cultures don't necessarily have the same options and may end up having larger families which they don't necessarily want or can afford.

[Hamandcheesebaguette]

Because it's plainly obvious it is a racist cartoon I'm just not sure what the illustrators point was EXACTLY. Plus it's not the first time he's shared these things and I'm in a bad mood and thought oh fuck off...

[EmpressOfSpartacus]

I think Ted's right.

It's not racist, it's making the point that not all women have the right to control their own reproduction.

[Emma198]

If I saw it I'd assume it was along the lines of "coming over here, taking advantage of our free healthcare, having kids they can't afford and then living off our government" and would likely delete them. Also the Vote No comment would add to that.

[VogueVVague]

@Ted27
It is racist if you read the text at the bottom. Its saying that while white women are having abortions, WOC are popping kids out, aka Ireland wont be a "white country" anymore (despite the fact that Ireland is pretty heavily lacking in much ethnic diversity but whatever).

But still think its funny op deleted uncle without understanding the cartoon

[MagentaRocks]

I don’t think it’s racist. I think it is saying as a pp said that if you are a white western woman you have more choices than if you are not.

[PatriciaHolm]

I would read it as claiming that if abortions are legal, the white women will have them but others won't, thus leading to the country becoming increasingly less white.

It's horribly racist and sexist - it basically says we need to force white women to have babies in order to avoid being overrun by other "demographics" as it refers to them.

[PinkHeart5914]

No all women in all countries can access an abortion well not safely anyway.

[SoyDora]

Looking at the picture alongside the text, my interpretation of it is that white people will have abortions and WOC will continue having children, meaning that Ireland will no longer be a ‘white’ country if abortions are allowed? I could be wrong though.

[Windmyonlyfriend]

It’s definitely racist. It’s a ‘Vote No’ cartoon (read the text at the bottom), so it implies if abortion is legalised in Ireland, all the white babies will be aborted and the country will be overrun by ‘those bloody immigrants/blacks/muslims’.

Your uncle is a racist, misogynist, dick.

[HateSummer]

The caption is “demographics are destiny”. Ofcourse this is racist. It’s saying whilst white women are having abortions, the women of colour and Muslims are having babies, so eventually there’ll be more of them than white. I guess it’s for what’s happening in Ireland about abortions atm.

[Ted27]

Ahh that is different then - I couldnt see any text. Source of the material is everything !

[SoyDora]

Basically what PatriciaHolm said

[0hCrepe]

It’s racist and misogynistic because it’s saying watch out we’re going to be taken over by black people because they have so many babies while white women have abortions.

[TheBogWitchIsBack]

I didn't really understand it until I saw the caption. Horrible. I'd have deleted anyone who posted this.

[MaireadMacSweeney]

It's captioned "Vote no. Demographics are destiny"

The person who posted it doesn't want more black babies than white in their country.

[MiggeldyHiggins]

Of course its fucking racist. Its saying legal abortion will mean that only immigrants will be having any babies and before you know it there will be no white people left.
In Ireland, one of the whitest countries on the planet.

Fair play to you for deleting the fuckwit, OP.

[0hCrepe]

X post with several others

[GhoulWithADragonTattoo]

It’s absolutely racist for the reason Vogue says. The context of the abortion ref in Ireland makes clear it’s not a positive comment on women’s healthcare in most of the West.

[Amanduh]

It is absolutely 100% racist. Saying that other ethnicities are all having children and ‘taking over’ and there are no white kids because they’re all aborted. Demographics are destiny. Gross

[MiggeldyHiggins]

I think it is saying as a pp said that if you are a white western woman you have more choices than if you are not

How can you say that when the entire point is the restriction of white western womens choices?

[SoyDora]

I think it is saying as a pp said that if you are a white western woman you have more choices than if you are not

That makes no sense in the context of it being a ‘vote no’ poster.

[JellySlice]

Vile.

Jewish doctor getting rid of white babies (whose mothers don't really care and are predominately slim), while black and Muslim mothers (who are mostly fat) and powhite trash mothers are podding them out.

Must protect the nation!

[Sturmundcalm]

they clearly think it is important for Ireland to remain predominantly white and think they can persuade others to vote no by suggesting the legalisation of abortion would mean no white babies would be born...

can understand why you deleted him! i'm lucky enough that everyone in my FB feed has been campaigning the other way - and they've won. it's a good day.
