Subject: RE: BS: The NI Battle commences
My attitude is correct in THIS world. Waiting and seeing for judges or a restarted Stormont is absolutely the wrong attitude in anybody's world because it prolongs the suffering and repression of women. A vote in the Commons is not binding on May. Allowing a vote to take place is not going to trigger sectarian violence. This is not fundamentally a sectarian issue in any case. The vote, which would certainly be in favour of liberalisation, would be a strong starting point for reform, that's all. The current paralysis is unconscionable and undemocratic, and waiting for Sinn Fein and the DUP to reconcile is absolutely no answer. Of course, a vote might just concentrate their minds.
