Ireland voted overwhelmingly to liberalise some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe on Friday, according to an exit poll in a historic referendum in the traditionally Catholic country.
The vote to repeal a constitutional ban on terminations except in cases where the mother's life is in danger was predicted to win by 68 percent to 32 percent, according to a poll of 4,000 voters conducted by Ipsos/ MRBI for the Irish Times.
