Bye Twitter! I did about a year's worth of tweeting in the last month, so time for a Twitter hiatus. I'm still on IG, though, with the same handle.

It seems as if "Sexual Health Hubs" is now a euphemism for "Abortion Clinics" (I prefer to call them "Abortuaries") which the Irish people were explicitly and repeatedly told would not be set up in Ireland.

Of course anyone who believed that is an idiot.

As some commentators angrily demand that no voters crawl under a rock, worth remembering that no side attracted more votes than any party in the last general election.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our incredible #Savethe8th volunteers! Your tireless work changed hearts and minds, and saved lives! Thank you for everything!

Check out today's news digest including a story on Minister Harris threatening doctors who refuse to make referrals for abortion: https://t.co/QOszn6q77Z

[doctors4lifeireland 🤰🏼👶🏼🇮🇪🌍🕊👩🏽‍⚕️🤱🏼 @doctors4lifeire]

Simon Harris is now moving to compel prolife doctors to refer their patients to abortionists under the guise of a conscientious objector clause. Drs who refuse will likely face sanction by medical council & could potentially be struck off as Drs in Ireland. #abortion #8thref https://t.co/8E4a61iLAJ

I thought that, whatever the #8thref result, I would be taking his #lovebothvoteno car sticker down the day after the referendum. But it's still up #prolifeandproud W

Never buying or eating another After Eight chocolate. Disgusting a confectionary company would cash in on abortion #8thref #LoveBothVoteNO https://t.co/y2CglM72pd

Roll on bedtime! Zzzzzz.

[Church in Poland @ChurchInPoland]

The Archdiocese of Cracow has 20 new priests. "There is no greater service towards the other, there is no greater act of love towards the other than to save his soul. Because the Church's concern is precisely this - to save human souls for God", said Archbishop Jedraszewski.

[Paul71 @Paul71]

I think a lot of people who voted yes will be shocked when it dawns on them what they voted for. Even up to the day before the vote, I encountered many who didn't realise he extent of what was being proposed. #LoveBoth

[Michael Kelly ن @MichaelPTKelly]

Katie Ascough, Cora Sherlock, Niamh Uí Bhriain, Maria Steen and all the other brave women who took the lead in standing up for the unborn deserve huge respect and gratitude. #8thRef

[Pro Life Campaign Ireland @prolifecampaign]

Polls are officially closed! Thank you to those who voted no and supported the right to life. #8thref #LoveBoth

[Louise Allain @louiseallain]

So a Herodian sentence has been passed on Ireland?

It truly baffles me how we’re ditching plastic to save sea life, turning everyone vegan to protect animals, yet slaughter the unborn with impunity.

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

The 8th did not create an unborn child's right to life - it merely acknowledged it. The right exists, independent of what a majority says. That said, with a result of that magnitude, clearly there was very little to be done. Thank you to every NO voter and campaigner. #8thref

[David Quinn @DavQuinn]

No matter what happens today hundreds of thousands of people will vote to retain the 8th and have NO major party to represent them. #8thRef

[A Kildare woman @Petra_C]

@doctors4lifeire Well done for all you‘ve done in standing up for the right to life of all your patients. Please keep doing that, now more than ever. #LoveBoth

[John McGuirk @john_mcguirk]

A candle in the darkness: My hometown box, Tullycorbet Parish Hall in Monaghan, voted NO by 62% to 38. Still the best place in Ireland. May have the highest NO vote in the country. #8thref
