In Ireland today, a pregnant woman can get an abortion only in cases of proven risk to her life; even in cases where the fetus has a fatal abnormality and no chance of postnatal survival, the woman must carry to term

what are we feeling!?
repealing!

i'm going to be so fucking angry if the referendum doesn't go our way

The guy I was speaking to yesterday seemed confident but I've been so utterly disappointed by recent voting outcomes I don't want to get my hopes up.

yeah. it's easy to feel confident in dublin (even though i live near a church, so ofc everything has 'vote no' signs)....but i do know it's harder in smaller towns. i have a friend v involved in offaly for repeal. i do my part as much as possible, it's hard campaigning so much and not being able to vote bc i'm not irish. i care about it being repealed.

i have 1 super duper hardcore catholic friend. i just don't even bother.

I'm in Cork and it's fairly liberal, but the 'no' signs are overwhelming.

Although I just had someone ask my boyfriend furiously if he 'knew what was in my books' cos there's a scene that deals with an abortion and I'm like whoa, didn't see that coming ://

Nice! My sister bought the last pink repeal jumper in Cork and I want to steal it so bad!
I love all the repeal fashion going around.

Ireland has scary abortion laws. Good for these celebs to stand up, as messy as some of them are.

Isnt Tom Vaughan-Lawlor the guy who played Ebony Maw? He had the best performance
