Why are SFers so opposed to conscience I hear you ask? Party delegates view the debate as happening within the Ard Fheis, argue your view and then accept the will of the room. Party will is the priority, it should be stuck to.

Abortion debate at so far 1) Big queue of speakers 2) Very surprised if the A/C motion binding reps to support Joint Oireachtas Cttee recommendations doesn't pass. 3) I detect little support amongst delegates for conscience motion 95.
