Ireland has voted in a landslide to overturn the country's decades-old ban on abortion in a major victory for abortion rights activists, according to an exit poll from The Irish Times.

A poll conducted on Friday by Ipsos/MRBI for the Times as voting commenced suggests that as much as 68 percent of voters chose to support the referendum overturning the ban, compared to just 32 percent who voted to keep the practiced banned.

Let’s not call these deplorable women “mothers.” A “mother” is truly special.

Where on earth will Christendom go?

Imagine a different nation and a different amendment.

The same stupid and selfish sort of people as in Ireland are here too.

Wasn’t there a time when Moslems couldn’t set foot on Australia?

And liberal women wonder why men have no qualms exercising violence against them. When they won't even stand up for their own pre-born children, why should men exercise honor and restraint?

Woe to those who voted for it, and fell for the various sob stories on women who died from a lack of such.

This is something I never thought I’d ever see.

Put it to a national referendum and I'd expect about the same results here.

I respect what you’re saying yet it is critical to affirm that motherhood and fatherhood begin at conception.

Yes, they have rejected the role of motherhood which to a normal person would be a blessing.

Why is it so hard to use preventative birth control? abortion as a birth control method is disgusting and unbelievably cruel.

It is staggering.

I bet those Muslim hordes that have been sent to Ireland by the EU will not be aborting their babies.

Didn’t the law there prevent pro life groups from advertising or otherwise educating the electorate about abortion realities?
Censorship is gaining worldwide momentum.

“Wasn’t there a time when Moslems couldn’t set foot on Australia?”

That time is coming again soon. The Aussies are tiring of the antics of the troglodytes of peace.

It is, but it’s not unexpected. Ireland recently voted to legalize gay marriage, so it does reveal a more socially liberal country. Women from Ireland who lived in other countries were flying home to vote for it. The youth, of course, voted for it. The youth in this country are overwhelmingly liberal and many want socialism. It sounds like the youth of Europe are the same way. If the liberals want their liberal “utopia”, they merely have to wait it out for the older people to die off.

It’s sad to me that this is considered progress. There is nothing progressive about terminating a human life - there should be no safer place for a baby than in the womb. Mother Teresa said abortion pits mother against child. Now babies with a beating heart can be chopped up and sucked through a tube - that’s how suction abortion works.

Sadly the current generations view abortion as birth control.

And more to the point, population control. With abortion, eugenics takes its own special form.

Western civilization is under judgement. Yahweh will let these nations go their way. They’ll end up in rubble.

"Ireland projected to overturn abortion ban in landslide vote"

That will make room for more immigrants.
