This isn&#8217;t unlike people in the United States, many of whom still believe that abortion isn&#8217;t legal after 20 weeks &#8211; it is actually legal at any time. A man on the street interview in Ireland showed that even people who voted to repeal the 8th Amendment and pave the way for legal abortion in Ireland don&#8217;t know exactly what is in this bill. They were shocked by what they learned and one woman even said she would never have voted to allow for legal abortion if she had known what it would have meant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flifeinstitute%2Fvideos%2F499658587209751%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not right.
