- mention of abortion

Congrats, Irelend!

It’s official. It’s past midnight. Same s*x marriage has been legalised and abortion has been decriminalised in Northern Ireland. A historic day and the start of a new era for Northern Ireland!
For the first time in history in Northern Ireland, women can seek an abortion without fear of imprisonment, thanks to the determined and unwavering campaigning of some amazing activists.
And not forgetting, same s*x couples can also finally marry the person they love!
Here's to a more equal future and choices respected for all ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
