Thinking of the Irish women across the world flying thousands of miles home to vote in today’s abortion referendum.
Abortion is illegal in Ireland, even in cases of r**e. An illegal abortion is punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Every day 9 women travel from Ireland to the UK to access abortion services (a service which was made free last year, but only for women travelling from Northern Ireland), meaning that abortion is only an option for those who can afford the trip.
If this historical new legislation is passed, women will have up to 12 weeks to terminate their pregnancy.
