At the stroke of midnight on Monday, Northern Ireland's restrictive abortion and same-sex marriage laws came to an end

The changes were imposed by lawmakers in Westminster, who had given Northern Ireland a deadline until October 21 to restore its assembly at Stormont or have the laws changed directly from London. Despite the Stormont assembly meeting on Monday morning for the first time in three years, it was unable to prevent the amendments that meant same-sex marriage would be legalized and abortion would be decriminalized in the province.

— 🎃 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕯𝖊𝖗𝖕𝖋𝖆𝖈𝖊 𝕲𝖎𝖗𝖑 🎃 October 21, 2019 Less pleased was Northern Ireland's Democratic Union Party leader, Arlene Foster, who after the leaving the chamber said,"it is a very sad day," according to Reuters.

Sad

The word decriminalized doesn't quite fit when you legalize the right for women to pay for murder of their babies. It's amazing that anyone thinks that any type of human murder should be legal.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Hello, my name is midnight ..... still waiting for my stroke

Very sad

Why must they linked together? See... That's a nasty politicians trick. They combine multiple issues together & force us to accept something we don't want or else we don't get what we do want. That's a form of Extortion. I don't agree with Murder... I do agree with Equality. TPO

Weeee!! it's now me legal to slaughter your baby in the womb.. What fun...

Womans right's and other choices! Thats for the people! Wonderful!

I live in Northern Ireland. I agree with same sex marriage, but abortion? It's wrong.

A good day for freedom.

Thoughts

Bad move

Wow. Northern Ireland? Love it.❣️❣️❣️❣️

It is a pity that this discovery will not benefit Africa anytime soon since it is the excision of this disease!

I don't get it. If we're not supposed to care about people's sexual orientation, then why are we being made to care about people's sexual orientation?

It's a strange species that is obsessed with executing innocent children and the crotch preferences of people.

Their country, their rules.

This isn't an achievement. This should be a given

Horray!!!!!!!
