Do you believe the majority of the population want abortion in any case up until 12 weeks? No, but we were told if you want to repeal for the hard cases you gotta also legislate for abortion on demand. Democracy indeed.

Two great results for FG however with this and the marriage equality referendum carried. We look to be heading towards proper right/left politics.
