Another one for Irish Feminists - this person holds a GRC and might soon be held in Dochas prison with women and childrem

This is a harrowing read.
I feel immensely sorry for the child that was. However I feel more frightened for the women and children G might be incarcerated with.

@Weatherwarning, so you're reading it that they're asking the media and politicians to ensure there's no public discussion or airing of divergent views?

I've lived through vicious debate and discussion about divorce, abortion, marriage equality and a lot of it was deeply unsettling and unpleasant but I have never thought we'd be better served by not having the debate or discussion.

How can they not see the irony in wanting to censor discussion and debate as they name call those who are asking for that open discussion and debate? I agree with you 100% @Weatherwarning, both about who we are and how chilling these attempts are.

Men of Ireland: got to vote on whether women could have reproductive rights or not.

Women of Ireland: no say in having the right to be safe from violent men in single-sex spaces being snatched from under their noses; abused and harassed for even mentioning it.

Yep, seems fair.

Amnesty under O'Gorman is a toxic shitshow. He has done so much damage to a once fine organisation.

So what's next?
is It write to our TDs while we still can?

I'm not on Twitter, not will I go on it, the way it is now.

while we still can

Gosh that made me laugh. And then I stopped laughing and got worried.

There are 20 beds in Limericks women's prison. Does this mean three biological males will be in Limerick women's prison?
Good to see that they are being kept separate from the female prisoners.
