There was an enormous voter turnout across Ireland yesterday – and it’s looking good for the Yes camp according to media reports. Early indications suggest Ireland is on the verge of legalising abortion.
Irish abortion referendum: yes wins with 66.4%
Yes campaigners are set to celebrate a landslide victory in the abortion referendum as early tallies point towards a huge 3:1 vote in favour of Yes.
Not many in Belagavi would know Savita Halappanavar, but Savita is a household name in Ireland as her death was a defining moment in Ireland’s soul-searching on abortion.
The 31-year-old, who was miscarrying her first baby, was refused a termination in a Galway hospital five years ago. She died of blood poisoning. Halappanavar, a dentist from Belagavi, was 17 weeks pregnant with her first child when she sought advice at University Hospital Galway for intense back pain on Sunday 21 October 2012.
Very Very Sad for Mrs.Savita H. However this incident appears to a BLESSING IN DISGUISE for the future GENX of Ireland. Our Indian Origin, the Present Prime Minister of Ireland, Mr.Varadkar– RR-OO-CC-KKssssss !!!!!!!
