Road to Repeal

By Therese Caherty

On 25 May 2018, the Irish people voted by 66.4% to remove the Eighth Amendment, which had enshrined the equal right to life of the pregnant woman and the unborn. This result, to allow for safe, legal access to abortion in the Republic of Ireland, came after years of grassroots campaigning by individuals and organisations across the country to allow people choice in their medical treatment. This year, on the tenth anniversary of the death of Savita Halappanavar in 2012, photographer Derek Spiers looks back on the journey of #RepealTheEighth, celebrating the activism that propelled this historical campaign. This edition comes with detailed captions by journalist Therese Caherty.,
