Thread Name: BS: Irish Abortion Referendum results
Subject: RE: BS: Irish Abortion Referendum results
Ignoring the expected ill-mannered outburst
The first major response to the result is a demand by Northerners for a change in legislation to allow abortion there
The DUP have dug their heels in and said they will not be bullied into changing their position
Members of the Tory Party have demanded change in the North, but it has been pointed out that May's reliance on the DUP vote has placed her in a position where she is quite likely to do nothing   
A campaign has been started in the north and the Church (on both sides) have taken up their old usual positions
When will they ever learn!!
Incidentally, several "No" campaigner leaders have said they will abide by the decision, but how many remains to be seen
