If I remember correctly, blackout, there was a huge effort at the time by the "pro-lifers" to make people vote for the NO option. That's why it was such a close call.
I always felt amazed how you can have half the population (the males) plus another half of the remaining population (women too old to bear children) voting on a subject which doesn't concern them.
The mind boggling nature of a referendum in a democracy!
