Why This English Girl Supports Repeal the 8th
Why Irish Abortion Laws matter to me As a fan of BBC’s Call the Midwife, I’ve seen the desperate lengths women resorted to in order to abort unwanted children: backstreet abortions, taking unprescribed drugs, and self-abortion that was too graphic to describe. Of course, this was reflecting the lives of women 50/60 years ago and to most of us, it seems unimaginable that scenes similar to those portrayed on TV in a 1950s based show can still occur today in the UK and neighboring countries. I am, of course, referring to Ireland, both North and Republic. For those who are unaware, abortion is currently illegal across Ireland, but this could change Friday 25 May when the public gets to vote on whether the laws should be overturned.
