Our thoughts are with Savita Halappanavar's family and friends today, the ten year anniversary of her senseless death as a result of Ireland's 8th Amendment.
Overwhelmed with emotions at the shock of learning of the passing of the beautiful person and mother that was #LynseyBennett. While her pain ends today it only begins for those who loved her most, my thoughts are especially with her 2 little girls. #RIPLynsey
The thing that shocks me most about AIB's decision to turn 70 branches cashless is the fact they only just collaborated with Women's Aid in 2019 to highlight financial abuse here. How, in the space of 3 yrs, have they forgotten how important cash is to domestic violence victims

I’m absolutely devastated for the people of America today.

Look after each other.

Homicide is the number 1 cause of death for pregnant women. Boyfriends and husbands who don't want to have a baby will take matters into their own hands.
Olivia Rodrigo and Lily Allen singing Fuck You and dedicating it to the Supreme Court, live on stage at Glastonbury, is one of the best things to happen this year
The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will boost conservative states' confidence that their new abortion limits will stand while liberal states will feel more urgency to protect and expand abortion rights. How states are taking sides: https://t.co/TVibcbrwmh
We condemn the SCOTUS overturning #RoeVsWade, meaning abortion "trigger bans" will be activated in 13 states. "Abortion bans are racist, they are misogynistic, and fallout from this decision will be catastrophic". Read our full statement here: https://t.co/Ke301wUxDy
Every day I wake up & remember that, with everything going on now, the Irish govt is trying to force through a deal gifting our brand new, post-repeal maternity hospital to the same nuns who incarcerated & tortured pregnant women in living memory. I want to set things on fire.
