One month ago we stood and waited anxiously for the results of the referendum.
We rejoiced together, the weight lifting, this freedom and feeling of finally being heard - of finally gaining something for ourselves :: our autonomy.
We celebrated, a wash of great relief in knowing that those of us that have had to travel will be the last ones.. that our daughters can get help here at home. That we will shift the stigma and silence around needing abortion care.
Since REPEAL 360+ women have accessed abortions in Ireland illegally, or have been forced to travel to the UK or further.
Since REPEAL at least 9 women and girls travel every day to the UK for safe abortions.
Since REPEAL at least 3 women and girls access illegal abortion pills online every day.
Since REPEAL politicians have come out with suggestions such as having only 50-60 GPs to offer the service of *prescribing a pill* to induce an abortion under 12 weeks.
Irish women are rising to meet our sisters in the North with Rally For Choice Ireland at Rally for Choice! Counter the Lies on July 7th at City Hall, Belfast
We have won nothing until we ensure the safety, autonomy, dignity, and respect of all of us.
#RepealedThe8th #decrimNI

July will begin a larger highlight on the plight our sisters face in the North.

Just across the border, the very women that have risked their lives to smuggle pills to us in the South are being prosecuted - this carries a life sentence...
Women and girls in the North are being forgotten about - left in limbo while politics prevail and prevents people from having access to safe abortions.
People that become pregnant through rape and incest, children that become pregnant, fatal foetal abnormalities, even the risk to a woman's life does not warrant grounds for a safe termination in the North.

“In 2013 I was absolutely thrilled to discover I was pregnant. I already had a child and desperately wanted to expand our little family...
Having suffered with a very rare and extremely debilitating illness called hyperemesis gravidarum during my first pregnancy, I was excited but terrified of falling victim to the condition again.
The chances are high that it will return on subsequent pregnancies.
I consoled myself with the fact that after 4 or 5 months of living hell during my first pregnancy, I was finally prescribed a medication that was very effective.

The *right* legislation matters
Women and girls will still slip between the cracks. The grey areas unthought of...
We will not stop fighting for FREE SAFE LEGAL

A story about the 8th amendment and miscarriage:

“I've been trying to write this since this page was set up. Today marks the 8th anniversary of when the 8th amendment put my life in danger so it seems apt to share my story now...
8 years ago I was pregnant with twins. All was going well and my 16 week scan showed two healthy babies. Less than 2 weeks later I had some pains and heavy discharge.
I went to the hospital where I was checked out and had a scan. All seemed ok with the babies and I was prescribed antibiotics for a uti. The following morning I felt very sick and started to bleed so I went into the maternity emergency room again.
