Russell Crowe has weighed in on the abortion referendum in Ireland.
On the day Irish people cast their votes, choosing whether or not to repeal the 8th amendment, the Hollywood actor has encouraged his followers to vote Yes.
Reposting Saoirse Long’s story, in which she discusses her crisis pregnancy, Russell wrote, “I have two beautiful sons . I wasn’t lucky enough to have a daughter. If I had, I’d wish her to have courage like yours.”
I have two beautiful sons . I wasnt lucky enough to have a daughter. If I had, I’d wish her to have courage like yours.
Nobody’s daughter should ever be told she doesn’t have authority over her own body.
This video is the beginning and the end of the debate. #yes https://t.co/YeV9s7NmRy— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) May 24, 2018
“Nobody’s daughter should ever be told she doesn’t have authority over her own body.
This video is the beginning and the end of the debate. #yes.”
The news comes after American singer Pink, and British actress Emma Thompson, both shared their support for the Repeal the 8th campaign.
Polling stations across the country opened at 7am this morning, and will close at 10pm tonight.
