Irish comedian David O'Doherty sends message of support for repealing the 8th amendment

THE IRISH comic shared a video declaring his support for a Yes vote on May 25 in regards to the abortion referendum.

O'Doherty created a vlog voicing his support for a repeal of the eighth amendment out of the Irish Constitution.

He started his video with: "This Friday, we have an opportunity to make Ireland into a more kind and compassionate place for our sisters and friends, who, for whatever reason, may find themselves in a crisis pregnancy."

He spoke of the compassion needed to vote Yes in the referendum which will be voted on in just 5 days:"But if you can find a place in your heart, even if you personally disagree, but just can see how other people - may be in a circumstance completely different to yours - might have a different perspective, then please join me in voting Yes to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution."
