The folks of Northern Ireland woke up this morning to amazing news.
Same sex marriage to be legalised, with the first same sex marriages to take place in February 2020.
#LoveIsLove 
Abortion is to be decriminalised.
The government has until the end of March 2020 to put legislation for seeking abortions in place.
Finally, out of the dark ages!

As someone who has been part of the campaign to decriminalise abortion in NI for three years it is quite an emotional day. It's been a long slog with slow progress. We had a few small victories along the way. At one point I feared we may technically win the legal battle but they may simply not provide the service making it a pointless exercise but it is so positive to see solid plans in place including plans for buffer zones around the hospitals providing the service to prevent them being harassed by protesters. |

Yes! I was literally shouting at the TV when she was talking about it. In ROI it took a woman dying from sepsis due to retained placenta from a miscarried twin due to it being illegal for doctors to abort the remaining twin that wouldn't have survived the birth anyway for them to finally legalise abortion. What a tragically unnecessary loss of life. |

Is there a chance they could overturn it? Like Trump did? |

Not unless they can get the nationalists to take part. |

Nothing is ever black & white in NI. First of society is still more conservative that the UK and republic. There is opposition to abortion on both sides of the divide. Both sides risk losing supporters if they were to be in openly in favour of abortion.
So perversely it suits them to have this legislation imposed on them. They can legitmately say 'it wasn't us' There is no doubt the way the legislation was passed in the HoC was a massive fuck you to the DUP 325-65 votes. Special thanks has to be gave to Sammy Wilson MP for the way he spoke in a debate last summer.
From talking to people, the battle is now on social media, facebook was brutal today, the american anti abortion activists doing their thing.
As to Arlene, she honestly has bigger problems to deal with, at this stage she is a dead (wo)man walking. |

They can't change it cos their parliament isn't active! Ha Ha.
They can't activate it either because of an imbalance of both sides.
Sinn fain (know it's not spelt correctly) won't go to Westminster either cos they refuse to swear allegiance to the queen.
Glad the laws changed though, they need to catch up to the times, social thinking there is way behind. |

Great day for freedom of choice for the women of Northern Ireland. At long last the mantra of "my body, my choice" can be practiced. It's hard enough to make the decision to abort as it is without adding the additional pressure of antiquated outdated out of step legislation into the mix. |

It's a shame though that it was done by central government. It does raise other questions on this. How would people if home rule was reintroduced. Just a thought. |

The way people are talking here it's as if the N Ireland people have a new found liberalist attitude. It's only because the assembly isn't sitting that it went through. This country is still under the grip of the god fearing brigade in my opinion. We've a long way to go before you see a branch of chams or xstasia here, without fear of being in the press. |

This is true, what is also true that the DUP are catching the flak for this, but whilst they are the loudest on this issue, they're not alone.
Even here this issue has been used for sectarian gloating. I fully support a womans right to be in charge of her own body. Any woman that I met that had a termination has found the decision a difficult one. But to see it used for political point scoring is disappointing but not surprising. |

This was a good way to finish the night. A positive story that really doesn't have any drawbacks. We can debate the motives and politics behind it, but ultimately the world is a wee bit better for a lot of folks.  |

"No more down syndrome children for the North."
What a truly disgusting post.
Not everyone who is informed they may have a Down Syndrome Child chooses to have an abortion. And if you had even the slightest inkling of how some members of the medical profession scare monger you to believe that having a child with a disability is the worst thing that can happen to you, you wouldn’t be so quick to make such a disgusting comment.
Shame on you. |
