Ireland has voted by a landslide margin to change the constitution so that abortion can be legalised, according to an exit poll conducted for The Irish Times by Ipsos/MRBI.

The poll suggests that the margin of victory for the Yes side in the referendum will be 68 per cent to 32 per cent – a stunning victory for the Yes side after a long and often divisive campaign. See here for liveblog coverage of events across Friday in the referendum vote.

I forgot about Pope Francis on this. He should have had the whole Church mobilized to fight for life, but nope.

Everything from Galway Bay to the Oder River is now a mission field.

Apparently the only group in favor of keeping the ban on abortions amendment are those over 65.

Every abortion will eventually be matched with several muzzl'em births.

The Irish gave up... on themselves, their country, their faith, their heritage, their future. All to be “progressive” and mimic the “advanced” countries.

Once you have seared your conscience to the screams of the unborn being murdered, it doesn’t take a thing to turn your head towards the sick and aged.

Irish Times exit poll projects Ireland has voted by landslide to repeal Eighth Amendment

They can repeal a constitutional amendment with a simple majority? Here it takes 3/4ths the vote of all the states.

They need to pass an amendment that does away with a simple majority requirement. That is too prone to errant winds of fad.

Great Britain and Ireland will be birthed to death by the Muslims as they flush their population down the tubes.

“They need to pass an amendment that does away with a simple majority requirement.”

Won’t matter when Sharia takes hold - slowly in the tiny hamlets, then metastasizing throughout the lost country.

The Irish have cast ballots for their own destruction.

Everyone wants consequence free sex. It’s impossible but they think they can have it.

True, Pope Francis has been noticeably absent....tragic! As I’ve posted before having taught Catechism to US teens for 30 years, our youth today are MUCH more pro-life than when I started teaching. Sonograms really have helped (the girls all say “that’s a baby”). This was an issue that should have been a slam dunk for “life” and the Church but it looks like old man scat still has something to say as the prince of this world. I ain’t giving up though!
