10000 points to Portugal (minus 500)

I am proud to say that the ‘Yes’ won in Portugal! The minus 500 point are due to the fact that the majority of people did not vote. Although I’m speaking against myself (not allowed to vote in England), democracy always looses when people don’t vote. As a result the referendum is not ‘valid’. However, the people spoke and the government says they are going to change the law anyway because it is obvious that it is what the people want. So abortion up to 10 weeks pregnancy will not longer be a crime in Portugal! There is a lot of work to be done now and it will probably take some time. But the important thing has been done already :)

Mãos à obra senhores ministros que foi para isso que foram eleitos!

EDIT Just adding a link to the BBC page on this subject for the English. But I’m sure most of you has seen it as it has been on the news all weekend :p

It can also be good for the Portuguese if you a curious on how another country saw it.
