An international agreement was trashed last year to enact abortion

Does anyone else find it ironic that Sinn Fein, the SDLP and the Alliance Party are bleating about the Brits breaking an international treaty over the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement?

Are their memories so short that forget that the last time the Good Friday Agreement was trashed, a mere few months ago, they lobbied for it? SF visited the Mother of Parliaments in Westminster no less than three times, asking for the decriminalisation of abortion to be forced on the north, against the expressed will of the people who live here.

Colum Eastwood agreed.

The consultation with the people who live here showed that 80% of the thousands who responded were opposed.

So dry your eyes, lads.
