Abortion Rights in Ireland

Today I am talking about how much work we still have to do as a nation for, free, safe, legal and SPEEDY abortions to be accessed. It was an incredible occasion voting to Repeal; pivotal and beyond vital for this country. As much as I don't want to diminish the movement and progress we have made, I still want to draw on the changes that need to occur that result in people having to travel abroad to access basic health care.

I read the legislation and numerous reports and wrote up in the most succinct way possible what needs to be adjusted. There are aspects under The European Court of Human Rights that have pointed to changes that still need to be amended in the legislation.

I also want to create space to say, that the recent news from Texas (and I believe it is the 9th state to pass the bill) is very worrying and my thoughts are with those in America fighting for access to fundamental, basic healthcare.
