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 …
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.

The quote tweet you replied to was concerned with your misogynistically ignoring those women of Ireland with inconvenient views Abortion made it into the Irish constitution at a point where Catholicism was in decline - so it is a part of the story but not most of the story

I’m not ignoring them; I was shorthanding a wider point about misogyny. Please stop.
