What a day for Irish women

[WhoGetsHeard]

All indications for an overwhelming, resounding YES. The images of people leaving their 'I've Voted' stickers on the wall beside Savita's mural, the footage of people coming #hometovote, the vox pops on the radio of older people telling their stories of why they voted Yes. This isn't just about abortion rights. This is about the Magdalen women, the Tuam babies, the forced adoptions, the cervical cancer scandal... It's about women deserving better. An apology. A vindication. A promise for the future.

I am overwhelmed and so, so proud.

Write to your MP today. You can do this via email so long as you put your full name and address at the end of the email. If your MP is Sinn Fein they have to reply too.

Well pleased with the Galway West vote. I campaigned for NO during the 1983 referendum in this region, as in NO to add the 8th amendment to the constitution. We knew then it would probably lead to restriction of movement of pregnant women, loss of reproductive health care for women of a reproductive age, death of the pregnant woman, enforced pregnancy. All were proved right.

I'm delighted the result is a turnaround vote.
