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

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
