Enough is enough. The proposal to have a GP-led service was first proposed by the Oireachtas committee on the Eighth Amendment. This is what the people voted for in the
#8thref and this is what we must now put in place.#Legisl8https://www.finegael.ie/delaying-tactics-on-abortion-legislation-must-end-oconnell/ … -
And there it is at 11.57pm. Abortion legislation passes the Dail by 90 votes to 15.

Here are 24 Fianna Fáil TDs (4 of their 6 female) That’s 26 of 45 TDs : 55.5%. The
#8thref legislation has a 3yr review clause in it. Only 2 female FF TDs were for repeal. There were antis elected in May as Cllrs. Cllrs become TDs. Enjoy the break.

On this day in 1912, Hannah Sheehy Skeffington smashed up windows in Dublin Castle as an act of suffrage. I hope she would be proud of the Ireland we live in now
More work to do, but we are certainly getting there. Onwards.

Another transparent step in the right direction. Google to release details of the total amount spent on ads relating to
#8thRef, the number of ads and the number of times those ads were seen by people. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/google-to-share-advertising-data-from-abortion-vote-campaign-kw9vmzlk8 … -
When voters spoke in 1983, the matter was not let rest. It won't be this time either. No-one ever gets to call full-time on an issue like this.

He went there: Pope Francis has questioned whether a “materialistic throwaway culture" has made people “increasingly indifferent to the poor and to the most defenceless members of our human family, including the unborn, deprived of the very right to life”.

I welcome fact that the 36th Amendment to Constitution Act 2018, repealing 8th Amendment and lifting constitutional ban on abortion, has been signed into law. A step closer to full equality of citizenship for Irish women. The North is next.
