19 moving, surprising (and funny) tweets about the Irish abortion referendum

When I was miscarrying for days nobody ever asked me what else could have been done either. I was going to lose my baby it was inevitable, but while my baby had a heartbeat the doctors hands were tied. It's not just about abortion, its about healthcare. #tonighttv3 #repealthe8th

As Ireland goes #hometovote to #RepealThe8th today, please remember Savita Halappanavar who died of sepsis after being denied an abortion for a pregnancy even after doctors said miscarriage was inevitable. Her death was a catalyst for this referendum. She was 31. pic.twitter.com/EcZm95xrEl

"You wouldn't be here if you were aborted. One of my five friends wouldn't be here." Or if our mothers had miscarried. Or if our parents hadn't met. Or if we'd been hit by a bus. It's hypothetical. The terrified woman seeking help today is not. She's very real.

Good luck to everyone voting Yes to #repealthe8th. Remember to vote tomorrow, those voting no, remember your voting date is some time in the 17th century.

Weird that all these No Voters are suddenly *against* Irish people getting on boats and planes. #repealthe8th

Last minute decision to go #hometovote to #repealthe8th No flights left from London, so I have a 4 hour train, 4 hour wait and 3 hour ferry to make it home to vote- which is a walk in the park in comparison to the journey that Irish women are making every day to the UK
