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.

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.

That's true. The last generation to benefit from the protection of Constitutional law --- such that they were allowed to simply go on living ---- voted against that law.

Saw a statement from an abortion-supporter (and, wincingly, new father) who said Ireland will now be "more tolerant, more inclusive."

...Yeah. All for "inclusive," raise your hand.
