The Irish abortion referendum

[RobDownSouth]

Looks like it is going to be a landslide for the pro-choice movement.

18-to-24 age group is polling 87% pro-choice.

About time.
Ireland has the 3rd most restrictive abortion laws in Europe after The Vatican (duh) and the Isle of Man which is actually a UK dependency sadly enough.

there were BIBLES at all polling stations. In the event of no photo id, they could simply swear on the Bible as to who they were. Non-Christians were allowed to "affirm".

Congrats to the Irish!

Looking at the crimes committed by the religulous in that country, both in general and against women, they really deserve it.

37 out of 40 constituency results announced so far. 67% for change to allow abortion up to twelve weeks.

That is a higher Yes vote than expected and has happened even in traditionally conservative rural areas.

Ireland will be making a change to their Constitutional amendments. Maybe the US could do something similar soon.

But Northern Ireland will still have a ban on abortions.

They'll just build some clinics on the border, like the gun dealers do in the US.

That would make a change from the ferry to Liverpool.
