“ The Story Of Us”....Another Irish journalist telling her own lived experience with accessing abortion, this time in @britishvogue the formidable Lynn Enright “ If I had stayed in Dublin, where I was born in 1983 – an early baby, small, jaundiced and covered in downy hair, my mother tells me – my experience would have been different. Sometimes, I think that if I had faced a crisis pregnancy while still in Ireland, I would have continued with it, unhappily giving in to the unsuitability. Or, more likely, I would have been one of the women who travel. Around 10 women make the journey from Ireland to the UK every day to have an abortion. Women who, for lots of reasons, do not want to – or cannot – continue with their pregnancy. Perhaps I would have been one of them, making the same surreptitious arrangements – booking days off work, telling the necessary fibs to employers and family, boarding a cheap Ryanair flight at 6am as if going on holiday. I would find the hundreds of pounds necessary to pay a private clinic in Liverpool or London. Later, my abortion fund not stretching to a hotel room, I would bleed and sweat in a cheap hostel, many miles from home.” Full article —- http://www.vogue.co.uk/article/the-story-of-us

- @parents_togetherforyes Orlaith Donlon ✊ “My daughter. The only one of my children who doesn't have full bodily autonomy. As hard as it is, her life, my life and the lives of all living, breathing woman are more important than the rights of a fetus. My right, her right, to access care, should not be dependent on whether we are pregnant. We are not mere incubators. We all deserve much much better than this. Ireland has carried the shame of this amendment for too long. It's time for change. Repeal the eight” . Parents in Ireland have a unique perspective on matters of choice in pregnancy and childbirth, many of us having experienced the realities of going through it while living in a country that limits many of the normal healthcare options that a pregnant woman in other European countries would take for granted. People should become parents by choice, and not because they have no other option. We exist to campaign for the repeal of the 8th amendment to the Irish Constitution, which limits choices and bodily autonomy in pregnancy and childbirth, as well as criminalising abortion. - http://parentsforchoice.ie/faq/

Via @londonirisharc “Fiona McEvoy’s Grandad , Fran Crummey has a long history of campaigning for women’s rights, now 81 he is urging people to vote yes in the upcoming referendum on the 8th amendment . I’m a Dubliner living and working in London. I've been campaigning for the repeal of the Eighth Amendment from afar. Making Ireland a better place for women is something I'm passionate about. I get that from my grandad, Frank. Frank Crummey is 81-years-old. He’s been happily married for 57 years, has five children and ten grandchildren. He grew up in Kimmage, Dublin with his three sisters and his mother was a single parent. He has dedicated his whole life to helping women and children in need.” @together4yes #REPEALTHE8TH He was a social worker for the ISPCC and was also a legal executive, representing many women in court in family law cases. He played a role in the opening of the first family planning clinic and the first women’s refuge. In 1969, he raised the issue of child abuse in the Catholic Church on the Late Late Show on RTE and as the credits rolled, a member of the audience stood up and punched him in the face. But he has lived long enough to be vindicated and everything he said about the Christian Brothers was true. Check out @londonirisharc for full blog post
