This.

However as a religious person I'm against this one, even though I think Ireland made the wrong call on abortion. I'm against the state having the power to define 'blasphemy' because its like hate speech laws. Which can be twisted to mean anything and control free expression.

Free speech has to have only the most limited of controls placed upon it(Such as calls to violence), or else it is far too open to be abused by whatever political party is in power.
