[Mrs. Don-o]

Life=Life was the position that passed by 66.9% back in 1985, when Ireland was a "modern, democratic society" and the Irish enthusiastically marched, cheered and voted for their pro-life Amendment 8. So it's not true that a Prolife, Life=Life position cannot be a politically-winning position. It was, and it did.

Something disastrous has happened in Ireland in just the last 35 years. Much ink will be spilt over this, and many articles written. At present about 7,000 Irish women per year go across the Irish sea to snuff their babies in Liverpool (a certain class of right-thinking, progressive Brits have always been up for shedding Irish blood) --- but the sheer volume of Irish-baby-slaughter will skyrocket following this disastrous vote to revoke the 8th.

Limitations? Like after Roe vs Wade? Let's see what the Irish Times will have to say about that.

1985 was a generation ago. Ireland was a poor country, mired by civil war. The women who voted yesterday to repeal Amendment 8 weren't even born yet.
