Irish abortion referendum: Vote to be held in May - BBC News
Shall be interesting to see how this turns out.
The Irish government has agreed to hold a referendum at the end of May on whether to reform the country's near-total ban on abortion.The vote will decide whether to repeal a constitutional amendment that effectively bans terminations.
Currently abortion is only allowed when a woman's life is at risk, but not in cases of rape, incest or fatal foetal abnormality.
