Ugh gross can someone overrule this bullshit judgement? If you break up one partner should not be able to use embryos without the other’s consent.

Winning marriage equality is a great step towards achieving further strides in equality, I know Jezebel is a women’s website but I thought more people would recognise what a good sign this is and not try to knock this victory and dismiss Ireland as “backwards” just because we haven’t won better abortion rights yet.

I’d be very happy with any progress on the issue, Rome wasn’t built in a day. I think it’s horribly unfair that Irish women can’t access the full range of obstetric care in their own country but if they extended the law so that extreme crisis pregnancies could be terminated on the island of Ireland I think most people…

I think a liberalisation of the current laws could pass, I think it would have to be very limited and I think it would be more like the divorce result than the marriage equality result in that it would be tight but situations like Miss Y and Savita can’t be allowed to happen again. It took 19 years for them to…

I meant in recent years, I have never been given the opportunity to vote on legalising abortion and the votes after the X case were on how much additional restrictions on it there should be. My point was most political parties won’t touch it with a barge pole even though opinion polls done by the Irish Times etc show…

He doesn’t have to be a bad person to be bad for you, if he’s always around monopolizing your time and filling the space where a partner would go but pretending it’s just friendship then that’s no good. You deserve to get what you need from somebody and if friends think you’re a couple then strangers think that too…

I have had the whole boobs trapping me in a dress in a fitting room experience but luckily I mainly managed to shimmy out of them after a whole lot of trying, once I did have to leave the fitting room and ask the attendant to help me out of a top, she looked at me like I was really weird.

As mentioned earlier Ireland’s equal marriage referendum passed today, on my way home from the supermarket I gave directions to a nightclub to a really nice and polite English man in a very tight tshirt who had clearly come over to celebrate. He looked and sounded just like the guys from Right Said Fred so now I’m…

The right to travel was established by the X case which was hugely controversial at the time. The fact that England is so close is how successive governments have been able to ignore it and pretend it’s not an issue. Hopefully they actually tackle abortion next.

The Miss Y case last year showed how inadequate the current laws are, Irish women cannot be denied the right to travel for an abortion but as an asylum seeker she didn’t have the right to leave Ireland. Forcing her to continue the pregnancy until 25 weeks and then delivering by C section doesn’t seem fair at all.

Abortion isn’t fully legal in Northern Ireland either, so women have to travel off the island for an abortion. And they have to fund the travel and arrange accommodation while they’re there so those extra arrangements take time which means later abortions and some women have to take out loans to afford it all.

The government have to introduce the amendments to the constitution for the people to vote on, there was also a vote on lowering the age at which Irish people can be eligible to be president to 21 but I imagine a lot of voters didn’t vote on that yesterday because the equal marriage vote overshadowed it.

Now that the gay marriage referendum is over we can try and get the government to legislate properly on abortion and give us a real referendum that’s not about threat of suicide but actually about abortion provision. The fact that turnout was so good and this referendum passed bodes well for an abortion referendum.

Can’t we take one day to celebrate how far we’ve come?

Our governments shitty stance on abortion is pure cowardice, there are shitty loud minority groups like Youth Defence that imply Irish people are against abortion but opinion polls don’t back this up. Basically a number of Irish governments have been to scared to legislate in the area of abortion out of fear of there…

Ha I live down the road from Chambers, might see you there.

I regret I have but one star to give. This song is my childhood.

Estimates have suggested only Roscommon/South Leitrim will vote against, and they are the butt of jokes anyway as Ireland’s least populous counties.

Birth control is perfectly legal and this victory gives us a much better chance of getting an abortion referendum passed soon.

It’s because of the nature of the Irish constitution, this means a government can’t remove this right via legislation.
