Program Title: WINGS #30-18 Irish Abortion Referendum
Description: In May 2018, the Irish voted to repeal the 8th Amendment to their Constitution, which had placed the life of a pregnant woman and the life of her foetus on an equal footing, leading to problems in physicians' decision-making, maternal deaths and severe penalties for abortion. Shortly before the vote, three women who worked on different aspects of the Yes campaign talked in depth about the problems and their work. A new abortion law goes into effect in 2019.
Host(s): Sarah Newton, Aoife Cooke
