Does the Taoiseach find it weird that a number of gay politicians do not seem to extend the same civil rights to women when it comes to deciding over our bodies? I find that really weird. This is very simple. The Taoiseach can complicate it all he likes but we need to repeal the eight amendment of the Constitution. As Deputy Bríd Smith and I have said, what we want is a referendum to remove what should never have been put into the Constitution in the first place and which is now way behind where people are in this regard. This Dáil would then legislate for the conditions in which abortion would be allowed.
