I mean in principal it might happen - but in practice... they will handle the abortion law the way the deep south does in America for sure.....none of the main parties in NI want abortion... even if the progressive parties they are pushing for LBTQ rights to marry but not for reproductive justice for women.

It is really good news - but as a woman who grew up in NI and know how conservative they are - I will believe it when I actually see it
