Leo Varadkar vows legal terminations by end of year after huge vote for change
Ireland has voted by a landslide to legalise abortion in a stunning outcome that marks a dramatic defeat for the Catholic church’s one-time domination of the Republic.
The Irish electorate voted by 1,429,981 votes to 723,632 in favour of abolishing a controversial constitutional amendment that gave equal legal status to the lives of a foetus and the woman carrying it. The result was a two-thirds majority: 66.4% yes to 33.6% no.
By voting yes in unexpectedly large numbers to abolish the eighth amendment to the Irish constitution, the country has enabled the government in Dublin to introduce abortion in Ireland’s health service up to 12 weeks into pregnancy.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO FOUGHT TO #REPEALTHE8TH AND MADE THIS HAPPEN, WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO THOSE WHO WENT #HOMETOVOTE!!!
This one’s for you @janemccormick57 @alisonbwatson and all those brave women who have been telling their heartbreaking stories. And those grandads, dads and brothers wearing YES badges. And the people who flew home to vote. And the people who were there to welcome them. Bursting heart. Cut from a Guardian article by Harriet Sherwood, 6.3.18. Clodagh Kilcoyne took the photo, but the demonstrator was unnamed, sadly. #quietrevolution #artistsrepealthe8th #freesafelegal #getyourrosariesoffmyovaries #alisonsye876 #rift #alisonsyerift #repealthe8th #hometovote #clodaghkilcoyne #harrietsherwood
The Irish women are finally liberated
We did it!
Don’t normally put photos of my family on here, but I’ve been an absolute wreck since hearing the wonderful news about the landslide vote in Ireland. This is closer to the world that I’d like my girls to grow up in. One in which they and their sisters have a choice over their own lives and bodies. So happy.... #repealthe8th #keepupthefight #mybodymychoice #hometovote #feminismisforeverybody
