Have patience Bella. It will not be that tight that a few rogue voters from abroad will make a blind bit of difference.

Hope not. Divorce passed by only 9000 votes.

Voted just after 7 o'clock this morning as I won't get a chance to get to the polling station later on. Voted Yes. I'm forty now and I've waited all my adult life to have a chance to vote on this issue.

If the yes vote carries would you be willing to work in one of these clinics if you were offered employment there and the same question to all yes voters.
If you had relevant qualifications and you were offered employment there would you be willing to work there?

I will be voting yes at lunch time. Whatever my moral feelings are about abortion,its happening and I want women to have the choice, support and to do it safely.

In an abortion clinic? Yeah, course, if I was qualified.

Why would you seek qualifications in a particular field and then refuse to work in said field. Wouldn't make sense tbh.

That was 23 years ago.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge and Rome's influence has diminished significantly.

That's exactly whats happening the liberal extreme left has a tendancy to shout down and dehumanize anyone that doesn't agree with them as a Nazi or Trump or some other b****x.

Was walking down henry street last week and some yungwan on a loudspeaker had been screaming 14,000 women had been prosecuted for having abortions abroad in the last year, and her harem of beats cackling around her.

Tell me about it it's terrible isn't it.


Like the fella that is walking around town today with a sign saying anyone who voted yes should have been aborted...

Mod: Hey everyone. *points at sign*

Mod: This thread is little more than a survey about how you voted. Please don't the ins and outs of abortion.

Please keep it civil. You've done your democratic duty. Now let it go.

DickSwiveller

Passed some young ones near the polling station with a Yes banner. Would they ever give it a ****in rest.

I guess you're trying to expose some hypocrisy there or something. Like a big "Aha! Gotcha!" kinda thing?

1. It is not hypocritical to agree that something is acceptable but not feel comfortable with the practicalties of it.
2. When someone votes to allow someone else to choose, it doesn't follow that the voter would make the same choice.
3. Being a hypocrit is not the same thing as being wrong.

This is a very contentious issue. I think it’s a lot more polarising than divorce so I wouldn’t be so sure. I really want Yes to pass and am wary of anything that can bring about a challenge if the result is close.

a Yes from me

Currently 81% yes (which I voted for) from 552 votes. Granted AH will have a higher yes count that Ireland generally, though if I recall with SSM in 2015 it was about 10% in the difference.

Mod: I've deleted posts that are not about how you voted. Next time its bans. This is not the next iteration of the abortion thread, it's about how you voted. No more.

Are they within 50 meters? If they are, ask them to move further away. Otherwise it's not your concern. They can and should fight their cause to the last.

This is a gigantic echo chamber. How can you not see that?

Noticed a line in this article that surprised me:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44241521

The BBC, along with other broadcasters, is not allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls are open.

Why would the BBC be blocked from reporting on the campaigning? They are not a broadcaster in Ireland, despite everyone receiving the channels. Are they just being excessive in following the reporting regulations for Ireland even though they don't need to?

It's been made equally contentious as the divorce referendum, if you look at the societies from each time.


The divorce referendum was vicious. Public attitude towards each side, hatred.
Similarly so in the '83 referendum and the two subsequent referenda 13th+14th pro abortion referenda that passed.


This one hasn't been that bad. So I don't think it will be as close as people are thinking. I said something like 53-47 YES but I actually think the yes vote will be closer to 60 than 50.

It's a nice day so the turnout will be high.
My super conservative father is voting yes after some himming and hawing. He's my barometer for the older voter. He still won't tell me how he voted (meaning it was a no) in the SSM referendum.


EDIT - did not see the mod post as it crossed with mine.

I've voted YES and will not post in this thread again.

I don't think they have much call for designers but if I had relevant qualifications, I'd probably work there.

That is what was said in 2015 on the AH threads too. I expect the actual vote will be closer alright, but people expecting a 30% swing from what the polls come to might wind up disappointed if 2015 was anything to go by.

I guess tomorrow will tell us if that's true. I really doubt it.

I haven't got out yet- there was talk of some groups intending to have a presence near the stations as if to check IDs. Anyone seen anything like that happening?

I get there's some flag waving happening near some stations but I guess that's inevitable.
