A Victory For Abortion Rights In Ireland

26 May 2018

Ireland is one step closer to legal and safe abortions.

This photo shows Irish women celebrating the landslide victory in the referendum.

Reuters reports:

No social issue had divided Ireland’s 4.8 million people as sharply as abortion, which was pushed up the political agenda by the death in 2012 of a 31-year-old Indian immigrant from a septic miscarriage after she was refused a termination.

Campaigners left flowers and candles at a large mural of the woman, Savita Halappanavar, in central Dublin. Her parents in India were quoted by the Irish Times newspaper as thanking their “brothers and sisters” in Ireland and requesting the new law be called “Savita’s law”.
