A local Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC) who are campaigning for abortion reform in Meath. Contact meathforchoice [@]

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

We are delighted to be rebranding back to Meath for Choice and members of @freesafelegal . We had a fantastic campaign with Together for Yes but now it’s time to reform for the next leg of the campaign- making sure the 8th is Repealed and the promises made are met.

We are dismayed to hear this. The Irish state has been told again and again that forcing someone continue a pregnancy against their will is in violation of the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCAT)

This year, 57,029 people in Meath voted YES to #repealthe8th. They voted to end an era of secrecy and suffering, and we’re going to make sure that time has truly ended.

And with that, all our hard work has finally paid off 💗 thank you so much to those who shared their stories, our tireless volunteers and everyone who voted in May

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

President Michael D. Higgins has now signed the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill, and it is now law.
Ireland can finally move on to providing abortion services in January. Thank you, everyone, for getting us here!!!

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

Thank you once more to everyone for their hard work.

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

On this historic night, we remember everyone who suffered under the 8th Amendment, those who travelled, those who took pills in fear of the repercussions, those who told their stories and those who never got to tell their stories. #legisl8 #repealedthe8th

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

And there we have it. The Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill Final Stage has passed by 90 votes to 15. Its not perfect, there certainly are issues but its has passed. We #RepealedThe8th

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

The Dail debate on The Bill resumes Tuesday. Which means you have 4 DAYS to contact your TDs. We have over 4 blogposts to choose from to help you write your emails. If half the people who voted YES wrote to their TDs they might start to listen! #legisl8

Also happening today in Dublin city centre!
"Women and people fleeing domestic abuse frequently become homeless, and the housing crisis means they often remain homeless. This is unacceptable - again the most vulnerable are the ones bearing the brunt of the housing crisis."

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

This is a time when people are most vulnerable. There should be no extra barriers put on people accessing healthcare

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

We are concerned and disappointed to hear about the 3 day waiting period. #legisll8

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

Very disappointed that the legislation will continue to criminalise abortion. We must do everything we can to remind our politicians that we are not going away. Please join us at the rally outside the Dáil this afternoon at 6.30pm. https://t.co/tYrhGetwIi

"For women having an abortion after 20 weeks when their life or health is at risk or in the case of a fatal foetal abnormality, doctors would be required by law to tell the woman exactly at which points in the procedure the foetus is capable of feeling pain." 1/

Writing a letter to the editor is a quick and simple bit of activism you can do at home! We have loads of helpful tips on our website if you're not sure where to start.

Savita Halappanavar died six years ago today, killed by the 8th Amendment and by structural racism.

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

Get in touch with your TDs!

[Abortion Rights IE @freesafelegal]

It could be a REALLY big week for abortion rights in Ireland - north and south! Today the Dail will finally vote on the first stage of the abortion bill, meanwhile in the UK MPs could have a chance to decriminalise abortion in NI
But you need to contact your representatives TODAY

[Meath ARC @MeathForChoice]

I know we have a lot of followers living in the UK. Please remember to show your solidarity with those in Northern Ireland and get in touch

[London-Irish ARC @LdnIrishARC]

Who is your MP?
Have you asked them if they’ll be attending @DianaJohnsonMP’s 10 minute abortion decriminalisation bill this Tuesday? Every vote is crucial, tweet them here! 🗳
