Congratulations Northern Ireland on joining the 21st century.

I agree with the same sex marriage. I don't agree with the abortion part.

Maybe these new laws are a ploy to unite Northern Ireland...by offending both Protestants AND Catholics equally! :lol:

FWIW, though, I thought same sex marriage had already been legal there, NI being part of the UK.

The UK has devolved parliaments so there are different laws and rules in the different regions
