When people are deciding how to vote in an election or referendum, they often take many factors into consideration. Please tell me in what way, if at all, the following issues would affect your decision on how to vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
In the Republic of Ireland, termination of pregnancy is legal under certain conditions. In Northern Ireland, it has been decriminalised, but we do not know the final details. If abortion in the Republic of Ireland is more liberal than in Northern Ireland, in what way might this difference influence how you would vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
Note: this question was asked after 23 October, when the legislation in Northern Ireland was changed. Belfast 23 October, respondents were asked UIABORTNA.
