Ireland, ya beaut. We did it.
Today my home country of Ireland decriminalised abortion for the very first time in the history of the state.
This is such an incredibly massive step forward and shows just how progressive our country has become. I’m so proud <3
The Eighth Amendment is to be removed from the Irish constitution.
For the first time in Irish history, women are equal citizens under the law.
We won.
We did it lads. #repealedthe8th
🇮🇪👍🏻
Watching the hashtags go from “#RepealThe8th” to “#RepealedThe8th” has been a special moment
Congratulations Ireland
