IN CASE YOU have been living in the sea, Ireland is currently in the middle of voting of whether or not we should repeal the 8th Amendment. It’s pretty tense and everyone is quite emotional as you would imagine.

Voted. Feeling a bit emotional. It’s not too long ago we had to fight for our vote. They were afraid we’d vote for ourselves. They were right. I did. #IvotedYes

Over on Twitter #IVotedYes is trending and if you’re already on the verge of crying because you voted or because you’re waiting to vote then this might send you over the edge.

Here are just SOME of the best.

People are very enthusiastic.

Today’s mood! It’s time to bring these women’s stories home ❤️ #RepealThe8th #TogetherForYes #HomeToVote #IVotedYes pic.twitter.com/uxshOwadWG

We have no time for stupid statements.

Work bloke: ‘i dont understand why people get so passionate about yes or no, hold plackards shouting and roaring’

Me: ‘i dont understand why men go to matches, get so passionate, shouting and roaring at a ball being kicked around grass, and no lives are at stake’ #IvotedYES

And our plans for later.

I just ate my chips with mayonnaise, and later I'm going to vote to Repeal, because that's the kind of dangerous anarchist I am.

While some people were on their second trip home.

My next door neighbour and childhood friend Rohan (left) flew home on May 4th to register to vote. He's about to fly out of Budapest airport again 3 weeks later to come #hometovote this afternoon. My heart is about to burst. pic.twitter.com/HjM8Hagxxk

And some just did what they had to do.

My polling station is a three minute walk from my home. Today, a round trip of 7 hours from @TyroneGuthrie to vote. Back again now. Back to work. #IvotedYES #repealthe8th #Together4Yes pic.twitter.com/Ky3DahhdFg

Some were reflective on how far we’ve come as a country.

#IVotedYes. In my Catholic Primary School that refused to tell us what a condom was during sex ed, & phoned my parents in Junior Infants calling me “subversive” because when we were told not to talk in the line, I’d whistle. Still asking q’s, still subversive, still making noise.

At 15 years old I was pregnant. Mam said "you know you have options Lynn". I chose to be mother. I chose to be a teen mother and when I chose that she supported me 100% then too. My amazing Mam. #TogetherForYes #repealthe8th #ivotedyes #WeVotedYes pic.twitter.com/JLrQaSqmxf

While others reminded us who we were doing this for.

#Ivotedyes Yes, for every woman and family who had to travel in tragedy or crisis. For those who would never choose a termination and for those who need to. For our little one, for who they will become and for who they may come to love. #repealthe8th pic.twitter.com/eimb9HZvnm

But above Irish women are proving today that no matter what the odds, they are absolutely unstoppable.

I brought my daughter, ticked the yes box... outside an elderly women asked me ‘love, my eyesight isn’t great, can you find my card in my bag’ so I did and she said ‘isn’t she beautiful (my daughter) I’m here so girls like her can be minded at home so I’m voting yes’ #IvotedYes

So this morning I collected my mam from hospital to bring her to vote because nothing was gonna stop her from voting YES! I am now emotionally spent #IvotedYES

— Ciarán Love Hewitt (@Mac_Lanky) May 25, 2018

And I mean UNSTOPPABLE.

Well my badass of a partner decided mid induction in her pjs to get to the polling station from the labour ward to vote. Hopefully the baby won't be born in the station! #emotionalday @Together4yes #Repeal8th #repeal #8thAmendment #TogetherForYes #together4Yes
