Sad third anniversary of the disgraceful
#repealthe8th#8thref result, a campaign that succeeded based on lies, misinformation, staggering media bias and concealment of the true intentions of the abortion fanatics (they are already calling for the 12 week 'limit' to be abolished) pic.twitter.com/5Dhp1yitbN

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

Campaign Conundrum
Many politicians seemed:
A) Terrified of being #ProLife during#8thRef for fear of being savaged by media
AND
B) Terrified of NOT being #ProLife during#GE2020 for fear of being savaged by voters
