Mr. Edwards continued: "On referendum day, on behalf of all we love, vote yes."

I remember about two years after the thirty-fourth amendment of the Constitution, the referendum for civil marriage equality, was passed I was in my boyfriend's house and I read the Article, which he had never read, and Senator Ruane spoke about the number of words that make up the proposed change, which states: "provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancy." We were almost brought to tears reading such a small Article which had made such a change to our lives. I dearly hope that young women in this country will soon have that experience.
