High turnout will favour YES vote but don't think it'll be as big as win as this poll

PTH2009 · 25-05-2018 06:31PM

Yes

BonnieSituation · 25-05-2018 06:34PM

How did the grand child vote so

25-05-2018 06:37PM

Back from the polling station now. They had a sign up telling people not to take selfies.
Why would people even bother?? Who wants to see you on social media, with a dopey smile on your face, putting a piece of paper into a box

FingerDeKat · 25-05-2018 06:37PM

Yes

flazio · 25-05-2018 06:37PM

Is the poll on this thread anonymous or can everyone see what you voted?

A yes from me.

Perhaps this has already been asked but I wonder what percentage of those who voted yes in the marriage equality referendum will vote no in this one?

To stop people from selling their vote. A selfie can be seen as a proof of purchase.

Get out there and vote if you haven't; if one person in every voting centre had failed to turn up in the equal marriage referendum, it would have fallen.

Thanks, and don't worry, I voted yes. But that's not to say I don't disagree with some points on the no side. Ending a potential life is not something to do lightly but can be the kinder thing to do sometimes. I do hope that some who were set to go to England, now getting to go here, could still be talked out of it if there is still a chance. But totally respect and care for a woman who is certain it's the right thing to do.

My dad was pro life and said he didnt agree with abortion, he had heard and read so much misinformation spread by the no side he was completely against repealing the 8th. He also didnt agree with the pro life sides canvassing and advertising and dead fetus pictures hanging all around town, not wanting to be associated with that crowd he said he just wasnt going to bother voting.
We started talking and I very quickly realised how unsure he was of what repealing the 8th really meant. So I explained to him what repealing the 8th really means. I told him how abortion will only be available up to 12 weeks and after that abortions will only be considered in cases of fatal fetal abnormalities and where the womans life is at risk, like in the case of Savita Halappanavar. I explained how it will amend the constitution so that women wont be refused medical treatment and let die because theyre pregnant. He said he agrees with abortion for those reasons but doesnt agree with abortion on demand, I explained to him that abortions up to twelve weeks arent done through surgical procedure, the abortion pill is used instead.

Ah he said its a womans issue, im not voting. So I said to him if you dont vote you might aswell be voting no. All it took was a 5 minute drive from town to home to get him off the fence and use his vote.

Today me and him went to the polling station together and both of us voted Yes! Proud day

Were there 500,000 voting centres?

Sounds to me like you forced him into voting yes really.

Yes from me and a yes from my 93 year old grandmother who voted no in the marriage referendum (had to tick the box for her at that time as she couldn't hold the pen which was painful to do).

Delighted with her decision this time around however, and she did in the face of an elderly neighbour and her middle aged daughter who we bumped into while walking into the polling station.

We went over to say hello and then upon hearing she was voting yes both of them started to shout at us, as if we'd change our vote at this stage.

The granny just said lovely day ignoring them and walked (rolled) past. Proud of her today.

I didn't think the equal marriage referendum was the same as the divorce referendum. Are you sure you don't mean the divorce referendum. I've no doubt this current ongoing referendum will be very very close.

You give out about lies. Yet you then say repealing the 8th will only allow abortions for 12 weeks. That in itself is a lie. The vote is about removing the right of the baby / foetus whatever you want to call it. The 2 weeks will be set by legislation which could easily be changed to between 0 to 23/24 weeks.

Yer Da sells Avon · 25-05-2018 07:16PM

Voted Yes.

C'mon, abortion referendum!

Stephen15 · 25-05-2018 07:20PM

A reluctant yes disagree with both yes and no campaigns. Dislike the holy joes on the no side and the feminazis on the yes side so I had to go with my gut feeling which was yes.
