Let’s return now to our special series exploring Newstalk’s 20 most influential moments of the past two decades. Every day we are looking back at a different story, chosen by you, the Newstalk listeners. Today, we are going back to May 2018 when the people of Ireland voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment, making way for legal abortion in the country for the first time. Once the referendum concluded, discussions and debates on the issue vanished from the news agenda, but what became of various campaign groups who were the driving the debate during the referendum? Eilis Mulroy is a spokesperson for the Pro-Life Campaign and she joined Breakfast to look back.

On May 25th 2018, the people of Ireland voted overwhelmingly in favour of repealing the 8th amendment of the Irish Constitution – the article that had hitherto made it effectively impossible to legislate for abortion even in the most extreme of circumstances. Beatrice White takes us on the road to the historic result that attests to drastic transformation in Irish society that has taken place over just a few decades.

The voices of the female Irish citizen have long gone unheard and ignored. The call for comprehensive bodily autonomy for the Irish woman has, for example, been marginalised and buried beneath the ‘traditional’ roles of motherhood and childbearing. Now with the upcoming referendum on repealing the 8th amendment to the Irish constitution and prevalence of the #Repealthe8th campaign, we as a society have seen Irish women (and men) come together to canvas support for the liberalisation of Irish abortion law. The referendum results will be a strong indicator of the societal standpoint on the liberalisation of abortion law in Ireland. However, by analysing the coverage of the upcoming referendum and the Oireachtas debates it has become clear that are bilateral exchanges of stigma, in the form of reactive discourse, between ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-choice’ proponents. Encompassing the themes of gender and tradition vs modernity, the paper will therefore explore the long standing ‘traditional’ views of female bodily autonomy; and consider if they have remained firm or if a new-found tolerance has taken hold as Irish society faces of a new chapter of bodily autonomy for female citizens. Rebecca Boast is currently an MRes student at the University of Liverpool, studying with the Institute of Irish Studies. Her research is focused on stigma and shame within the abortion debate in Ireland; with a particular focus on the recent referendum. This research will be continued at PhD level, commencing in October 2018 and will introduce a comparative analysis with Malta.
In this week's episode, Mick and Hannah take a trip to Dublin to join the March For Choice and find out what's been going on since the #Repealthe8th referendum back in May, where they natter with a few familiar voices, as well as make some new friends. Mick has a chat with host of the Wanna Be podcast and CEO of the Shoutout Network, Imriel Morgan, to find out why Black History Month is so important and how everyone can and should celebrate it. The team catch up with poetry anthologist Ana Sampson about her book, She Is Fierce, ahead of World Poetry Day on October 4, and Jen talks bare-knuckle brawling with playwright Joy Wilkinson, who looked into the boxing world for her play The Sweet Science of Bruising.

This week Meghan Markle made headlines for getting political during her brief Irish visit with Prince Harry. Both Una Mulally and Senator Catherine Noone reported that Meghan was pleased about the Eighth Referendum result - a move that is in direct opposition to the Royal Family rules which say that expressing a political opinion is forbidden. Thus far, the criticism leveled at Markle has largely been about the aesthetics of protocol - the colour of her tights, the way she crosses her legs, which side of the car she gets into. This is the first time we've seen an attempt to suppress Meghan's voice since she joined the RF - a voice that has been prominent in areas of philanthropy, feminism and human rights thus far.

Last week Ireland voted to repeal the constitutional amendment that placed a near total ban on abortion. Stephen Donnelly spoke with Irish Labour's Deirdre Kingston about this historic victory for the women of Ireland.
Today, on the other side of the world, there’s a referendum going on. Ireland is voting on whether to legalise abortion for the first time. But did you know abortion is still not legal in New South Wales? Plus, apparently you are supposed to have saved the equivalent of twice your annual salary before you are 35? Oh, and you are meant to pay your ex a break-up fee when you dump them...Yep, we need to talk money...

This episode explores some of the issues around this referendum, and reflects on the law surrounding access to abortion both North and South of the border. On the 25th May the Republic of Ireland will vote in a referendum on whether or not to Repeal the eighth amendment of the Irish Constitution.

This week on The Earth Wants YOU! We talk about Irelands upcoming referendum to Repeal the 8th ammendment, we listen to the long and scary News From the Natural World, we celebrate the Royal Wedding with a song from PJ Harvey and interview two longtime Brooklyn Activists about how to improve our neighbourhood and protest effectively.
*Bonus Episode* On Friday of this week, 25th May, Ireland will vote in a historic referendum, to decide whether to repeal the 8th amendment of the constitution which prevents abortion from being legalised. We speak to Sinead Plunkett from Ireland about what this vote means and why it matters. Sinead talked to us about the mentality behind the No campaign, why religion is not always the main factor in the pro-life camp and what to say to an undecided voter. Pull up a chair all, #thisisnoshade
Izzy and Pip got together about a week or so before the referendum in Ireland on the 25th May 2018 to discuss the injustice and indignity Irish women have suffered at the hands of the 8th Amendment. Special thanks to Anna, Sinead and Ken.
In this episode, we are joined by Helen Jennings and Caitlin de Jode, who are organising a conference on ‘The Development of Abortion Rights in a Changing Europe’; the first of its kind in Cambridge. Helen, Caitlin, and their team, want to bring together scholars, activists and experts on the matter, to talk about how we can develop a meaningful framework through which abortion rights - amidst brexit and Ireland’s referendum on the 8th amendment - can be realized. What european, as well as global phenomena, are currently in motion that make this a particularly pressing matter now? What is the impact of conscientious objection on the provision of abortion to women in the UK? How should these competing rights be balanced? What changes - beyond the legal - are necessary, and who can help affect change?
Article 40.3.3 of the Constitution: “Provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancy ” Yes? No? The day of reckoning is finally here. On Friday May 25th, the people of Ireland will go to the polls and decide if they want to remove the 8th Amendment from the constitution and allow for the parliament to make the laws concerning abortion. For a final analysis of the campaign, we are joined by Ellen Coyne (Senior Ireland Journalist at The Times), Theresa Newman (Parliamentary assistant to Kate O’Connell and proponent for the repeal of the 8th Amendment) and Ciara O’Connor Walsh (Producer of The Eighth podcast).

Hey girl, we're furious and saddened about, well, a lot actually. First, that former New York AG and public feminist (TM) Eric Schneiderman has abused multiple women. Meanwhile in Iowa, that "fetal heartbeat" bill is really an abortion ban, intended to challenge Roe v. Wade. In Ireland, voters could repeal a constitutional ban on abortion, May 25. New research on the stress and financial strain of anti-abortion laws. And a palate cleanser: we love the web series Bad Ally, Naomi Alderman's book, The Power, and the nation of Australia.
We are joined by performance artist, poet and comedian, Sarah Devereux, maven of alternative nights in Dublin and truly talented with the spoken word.
On this episode, we speak with photographer Aoife Herrity. In the past five years, Aoife has become what she calls a "quiet" photographer, taking care to compose the perfect shot, filled with humanity and semiotics.
The Republic of Ireland is one of the last places in the EU in which having an abortion remains a criminal offense. Every day, an average of 12 people in Ireland have an abortion - either by travelling to the UK, or through using illegal abortion pills bought online. On 25th May, voters in the Republic will go to the polls in a referendum to decide whether or not to repeal the eighth amendment to the constitution, which has kept abortion illegal under almost all circumstances since it was first introduced in 1983. The campaign to 'repeal the eighth' has gained a huge amount of traction across the country in recent months. Just a few weeks ahead of the crucial vote, we invited Maev McDaid, an activist with Alliance for Choice, and Lewis Kenny, a Dublin-based artist and activist, to join us in a discussion about the history of abortion in Ireland, and why a 'yes' vote is so crucial. For more information about the campaign to repeal the eighth, go to: https://www.togetherforyes.ie http://www.alliance4choice.com https://www.repealeight.ie

Recently in Ireland, a verdict was finally reached in a high-profile rape and sexual assault case involving famous rugby players. When it was announced, there was cheering by many men and despair among many women. Here to lay it all out for us is Irish feminist Jen Keane. In the wake of all this, she wrote a great Twitter thread about her experience on a jury in a rape case. Later on in the episode, she also breaks down 'Repeal the 8th,' which is about abortion rights in Ireland. Make sure to read the text messages that were part of the evidence in the case.

The 8th Amendment is not just about Abortion! We are joined by some of those at the frontlines of the debate around the 8th amendment, and we discuss the way in which the amendment affects us all, regardless of our ethnic, social or religious background, and most importantly, what the 8th amendment actually is!
