Iām starting to think that as well. Itāll be very close I imagine.
I feel like this referendum has been going on for 3 years. I canāt wait until itās over.

Great post, the debate will go down as a win for the no side but itās the first time Iāve seen either side really sink to the gutter and turn it into a proper mudslinging contest.
Steen is a vicious bitch and her personal comments about Mary Lou were disgusting. Monaghanās suggestion that Boylan āgo back to schoolā was extremely childish and epitomised the tone and direction of the no sideās approach
The no side hasnāt made any inroads into the gap in the polls yet.
Think it will be very much a silent vote in this scenario.
An awful lot of people seem to hold the views of GPs and medical consultants as the Oracle when it comes to aborting babies.
Which is funny as most doctors I know are cunts.
Anyone have any other ideas as to why doctors would favour the abortion of a baby when a mother is unwell or saying she is suicidal?

It has to be given the violent nature of the Yes side.
All of the doctors who treated me when I was being treated with chemotherapy were very kind to me. But then Iām a man, so they werenāt constrained by a wretched piece of legislation that would require them to give me a pregnancy test and stop treating me if it was positive.

It should be noted that doctors would profit from abortions being legalised in Ireland. It should be noted that legalising abortions in Ireland means less accountability for doctors in Ireland.
Constrained?
Anything but constrained, removing the legislation means any accountability is removed from the doctor, rather than trying to save lives it allows them to execute unborn babies from a safety net of the professional expertise they are meant to possess.
Thatās a reflection on you mate, you need to think about why this is.

The polls have been very consistent. Are you saying people are lying to anonymous polls? What kind of weirdos are they?
Not sure if serious, mate.
Ditto Brexit .
And Trump. And others. Regular enough occurrence really.

Posters who are voting no do you think that abortion should not be allowed anywhere in the world or just not in ireland?
Could you tell me what the impact a woman having an abortion in this country has on you and how that differs from a woman travelling to the Uk to have one?
There are a lot of people in the middle. It came up in conversation yesterday where I work, first time anyone has mentioned it. I felt I could say nothing, itās such an emotive and devisive issue. I work with women, and I would think that most would be for repeal, but most people are holding their cards close to them.
This will be tight. Speaking to a Yes canvasser who I know, he said at the weekend that their fear is that the male 20-35 wontāt show on the day, they are getting a very positive response from women in that age cohort, and a surprising amount of support from older people, although the repeal support is still outnumbered in the 60-75 cohort.
It will come down to who can get the vote out on the dayā¦

I think itāll be more along an urban/rural divide.
Dublin will be pro repeal, most of the places outside the Pale will vote No I reckon.
In the topic in question huge swathes of the population havenāt very strong views on the matter . Those with entrenched views are either devout Christian or feminists .
The turnout will be a huge factor .
