This makes me want to dance a jig :-D

the article might not be appropriate, but the post sure as hell is..

I voted early and then spent all day on tenterhooks waiting for an exit poll. I won’t relax until the official count is announced. I think the turnout will be big especially among younger voters, the brexit result taught people not to be too complacent and rely on other people to do the right thing. I moved house last…

“What? It worked when Russia did it!”

Well to be fair, Russia go to do it to us without any repercussions so maybe they thought that’s how the world worked. s/

Half Irish and feelin’ proud. Cautiously excited and love the support shown by near and far.

Thank you. It is much appreciated - we couldn’t do this work without support from our local and global pro-choice community. The reproductive rights community spends so much energy fighting restrictions and heinous, archaic and disgusting legislation - it will be very wonderful to get a win. This means so much and…

Good to read that at least in Ireland the vile godnazis have been beaten back. (Now if only these intrusive Big Guvmint godnazis in America (evangelicals) can suffer the same fate...)

Thank you for getting your feet on the ground. I’m an Abortion Funding coordinator at a clinic in Texas, and we couldn’t do it without the people that support us and advocate for the work we do. I am so proud of and inspired by you all.

I am crying tears of joy for and with the people of Ireland today. I work in abortion care in Texas, so while we have legal abortion, it is heavily restricted so much that we have patients call and ask if abortion is even legal in our state. I can relate to the struggle of the women of Ireland, and I hope that the…

I love the part where CNN has them admitting to violating Irish Immigration and Customs law, also the part where they assume that their first amendment rights are exactly the same as if they were in America.

The RTÉ exit poll has just been announced and it’s almost the same: 69.4% Yes with a 1.6% margin of error. I think we might have actually done this!! My feet are killing me from canvassing, my ears are ringing from the stuff that was shouted at me, my eyes are tired from crying, but I hope to sleep very well tomorrow…

Not Irish. As tense over this as I was over Brexit and Indyref.

Fuuuuuck yes Ireland you beauts!!!

Oh hell yes. It’s not my fight, not even slightly, but ... oh, I will be so, so happy if the people on the side I’d be on if it was my fight manage to win.

I get choked up every time I see a picture of Savita Halappanavar. Her death was so horrific and so fucking pointless. I hope this brings her family some kind of closure. 

It’s been mentioned elsewhere, but they maintain a barrier between the advertising and editorial sections of the website. As Jezebel is part of a larger consortium of websites owned by Univision, I doubt they have control over that at all. Yes, it sucks to see those adds, as well as others on the different Giz network…

Read #hometovote all day today and yesterday and cried buckets. Also not Irish. Not to take away from the actual women this will affect - but it feels like a win for women everywhere.

Intimidation, lies and scaremongering, pretty much their MO! I’m pretty hopeful it looks like we may swing it with such good turn out in urban areas (fingers crossed)
