Repeal the fucking Eighth

IF Ireland has a heart they stole it from somewhere else. All this! from the country which did a roaring trade in illegal adoptions, where women and girls were imprisoned and forced to work in Magdalene Laundries, where young boys and girls were physically and sexually abused in Industrial schools and convents, and where more than SEVEN HUNDRED DEAD BABIES AND TODDLERS WERE DUMPED IN ONE CESSPIT! No healthcare and no death certificates for those children of Ireland.
Its not as if abortion doesn't happen, right now in Ireland women and girls are making arrangements to go to the UK or an EU state to get an abortion, that means that at the most difficult time of their lives women and girls are forced to leave their homes and families and endure the most traumatic decision they will ever take not just alone but isolated from everyone they know. And do you know this intransigent attitude maybe responsible for more abortions than there might be if women and girls were able to think calmly, get proper advice and make their decision surrounded by friends and family.
REPEAL THE FUCKING EIGHTH
