It was good to see the pro-abortion flag bearers of Fine Gael [an Irish political party] punished by the voters. The odious Minister for Health, Simon Harris survived in Wicklow but had to wait for the 15th count to scramble in under the quota, hardly a recommendation for his labors of bringing abortion on demand to Ireland.

Irish Minister of Health Simon Harris

He wasn’t alone among the politicians who boasted of their pro-life credentials in 2016, only to flip flop in 2018: Regina Doherty who remains a minister despite losing her seat, Katherine Zappone the oddly named Children’s minister, Mary Mitchell O’Connor, Lisa Chambers, Kate O’Connell, Tim Dooley, Ruth Coppinger, Catherine Noone, and others.

I wonder how Fine Gael’s analysts explained the success of those who voted against the abortion bill?
