Didn't Ireland reject the latest EU treaty change when it went to referendum mainly because of left wing and anti-war concerns, and were then told to do it again until they got it right?

That's not what happened, see KKs comment for an accurate summary. But for whatever reason this became the dominant narrative in the UK. I suspect Boris Johnson somehow

it makes far more sense to demand the tories simply cede a bunch of political capital in the opening negotiation. Now the DUP saved the pensioners from the evil tories, who were almostly certainly going to bin the entire manifesto anyway, and can save abortion debate votes for when the tories realise they've got a problem with rebels.

Oh I agree it makes sense it's just weird to see them hold any political position more evolved than being red and angry about flegs.

I have to say given the music debate recently I realized I must have "musical anhedonia", or at least a mild variant of it, since I do have some vague memories that I've heard songs I liked and which made me feel something, but I wouldn't pay 10 cents* of lift a finger to try and experience it again, just not that fulfilling. Sometimes in my shop I turn on the radio but mainly I like it for the talking. I do listen to podcasts and stuff.

Well it will be 'the will of northern Irish parties' cause there is cross community opposition to abortion reform here (the DUP are joined by the nationalist SDLP, labours sister party in the province, in whipping against abortion reform).

Any domestic abortion reform is a harder fight, while I was typing this the court ruling came in with appeals court reiterating it is stormonts domain to reform the law so in the event of direct rule the Tories will resort to "consultation" with the parties as only the Greens approve of extending existing English legislation here and every party would resist attempts to unilaterally impose reform from Whitehall (there was a legal argument this could be necessity under the UKs human rights obligations but the court ruling seems to have ruled that out).

But this amendment has nothing to do with the assembly, a separate court case confirmed that the English NHS can provision these services if they want but the government said they did not out of "respect" to the fact the NI NHS made no such provisions. The court only narrowly voted to allow that policy to stand from a legal standpoint

Hopefull RoI will vote soon to liberalise women's reproductive rights, in which case we can offer some reciprocity to NI after years of us depending on UK abortion services to prevent us having to confront our archaic Catholic constitution and all its ugly implications

There are also a lot of women in NI who have been or are being prosecuted for accessing abortion services.

A Northern Irish woman who was prosecuted for obtaining abortion pills for her underage pregnant daughter was reported to police by a GP

The Police Service of Northern Ireland has carried out a number of searches and seizures connected to the illegal purchase of abortion pills online.


A Northern Irish woman who bought pills over the internet to induce an abortion has been given a suspended prison sentence. (In this instance, the woman had told her flatmates she was trying to raise the money to go to England but could not scrape it together. She ordered pills from the internet and did the job herself, alone. A week later her flatmates decided she wasn't contrite and miserable enough for their liking and searched through the outside bins to find the evidence of remains and reported her to the police for being "blasé" about it.)

This is not enough, not by a long shot.

In Northern Ireland they put women in prison.

In the Republic, we just allow miscarrying women to die of septic shock rather than perform life-saving abortions.
