Ireland Votes Yes to Liberalize Abortion Laws in Historic Referendum 🇮🇪

An Ipsos/MRBI exit poll of 4,000 voters predicts a landslide of 68 per cent for the Yes camp after weeks of bitter campaigning across Ireland in a bid to repeal some of the most restrictive laws in Europe. The results included with 70 per cent of women and 65 per cent of men voting Yes. Irish cast their votes to decide whether to repeal the constitution's Eighth Amendment that outlaws almost all abortions. The amendment, written after a previous referendum on the issue in 1983, considers the life of the mother and unborn child to be equal. If the Yes camp win the government intends to overhaul Ireland's abortion laws by the end of the year, bringing them in line with the rest of Europe. Ballot counting will begin at 9am on Saturday with an official result expected later that day.
