| Résumé : |
On may 26 [2018], Ireland celebrated the news that its citizens had voted - by a landslide - to repeal the Eight Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which equated the life of the pregnant woman to the life of the unborn and made abortion illegal even in cases of rape, incest and fatal fetal abnormality. Many Irish women and prochoice activists had been waiting a long time for this result, as the catastrophic loss of the 1983 referendum on abortion lingered in the back of their minds. For them, 1983 was a sore reminder that nothing was for certain - and that everything was up for grabs in 2018.
This is why the most recent Irish abortion referendum was so fascinating. Yes, it resulted in a historic win for women's rights in Ireland, and has set an example for women across the globe who hope to overturn medieval laws and secure their bodily autonomy. |
