Women on Waves write:
This morning the abortion drone flew from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland at Narrow Waters Castle [in Co. Down].
After the drone landed safely, two women took the pills. At the same time, Women on Waves employed a [remote control] speedboat to send over more pills for the women. Making abortion illegal will not keep women from accessing abortion pills, by ship, by mail, through the internet, drone or [remote control] speedboat!
This afternoon, at 2.30pm, there will be another protest in front of the Court of Appeal in Belfast when the appeal regarding the decision by the High Court that Northern Ireland’s abortion law breaches the European Convention on Human Rights will be heard.
Tomorrow we will protest for Repeal of the 8th Amendment at 12.30pm outside Dáil Éireann with Ruth Coppinger TD and Dr Rebecca Gomperts.

This is an important public service announcement about the consequences of a Brexit for Ireland and its Game Of Thrones fans. We can only hope that the people of Ireland vote for the correct outcome in the referendum this Thursday. *WARNING: Contains some GOT spoilers, although you probably know them by now anyway as they’re a few seasons old (mostly)*
FIGHT!

Our new addition, Maude the kitten’s grey splodge looks a bit like Ireland? Maybe…if you squinted and lost a couple counties like Dublin?
