Ireland has voted to amend its Constitution in a way that legalizes abortion.
Ireland has voted by a landslide margin to change the constitution so that abortion can be legalised, according to an exit poll conducted for The Irish Times by Ipsos/MRBI.
The poll suggests that the margin of victory for the Yes side in the referendum will be 68 per cent to 32 per cent – a stunning victory for the Yes side after a long and often divisive campaign.
A nice win in a country that, not all that long ago, was merely a small department of the Catholic Church.
