Provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancy. “If a majority votes Yes, this will allow the Oireachtas to pass laws regulating the termination of pregnancy. These laws need not limit the availability of termination to circumstances where there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother."

Of course, every law gets voted on by public directly...wait..in fact that isn't how it works, we vote for TD's. Oh I see, since this law improves women's lives, it needs as much delaying and deflecting and weakening as possible. I get it now. All these **** need to go in the next election.

What tactics do you think he can employ that will overcome the majorities dislike of killing pregnant people, lack of job security, health care, housing? Before we even look at how there are so few easily accessible alternatives to abortion?

"I have lost speaking rights, spokesperson positions, portfolios and have been significantly censored in my engagements with the media.
