re: #227 HappyWarrior

I was surprised though how overwhelmingly it passed. I think Donegal was the only county where it didn’t pass.

I think the problem here is that I could see it pass by a wide margin on a nationwide basis — but fail in GOP-lead states. The Senate would not allow such legislation to pass to protect women nationally. The only way for there to be a change in attitude is if some senior GOP officials lose loved ones because of this heinous legislation, and that won’t happen because they will just send people out of state or out of the country to have the procedure performed on them.

In Ireland, the woman who died was too ill to travel elsewhere.
