This is a massively personal thread and I appreciate its truths but the 8th amendment wasn't a straight male/female dispute *women* didn't want other women to have abortions (I'm listening to a NI woman campaigner false-facting against change on the BBC right now)https://twitter.com/fozmeadows/status/1000410431746228225 …
I didn’t blame all misogyny in Ireland on religion; I said there was misogyny *in* religion, which is kind of materially relevant to discussing abortion laws in a Catholic country.

Leaving out that there are women who're against abortion from the thread misrepresents a complex debate in a complicated social context and erases the voices of women BTW France is a Catholic country & NI is Protestant - maybe religion isn't totally relevant to abortion laws?

abortion laws in Ireland are specifically contextualised by and grounded in Catholicism. if you're going to continually ignore really obvious stuff while making wild inferences, we're not going to get very far.
