If we thought Repeal was hard in 2018..

Can you imagine trying to have that conversation in 1983??

[How The Yes Was Won @howtheyeswaswon]

Anne Connolly told us about the many many challenges that Pro-Choice activists faced even before the introduction of the 8th. It just wasn't something people wanted to talk about, and that had to change.

@CharBrightEyes Ugh so sorry.. gyno visits are never fun that sounds awful!

On a final note re #the8th please please bear in mind almost 80% of the people who contact us for support STILL have to travel for a termination. We are STILL campaigning. It didn't start OR end for us in 2018. We are still begging for compassion for heartbroken parents.

Stephen Donnelly "hopes" all maternity hospitals will comply with fathers' access. The worry is why he cannot ORDER them to so do.
Why not, is precisely the reason women are so concerned about the St. Vincents/NMH situation in providing all healthcare.

Our podcast logo features what is left of this mural.

Our aim with this podcast was to tell the full story of Repeal. The good and the bad. We wanted to show that you can’t paint over history, and this moment from the campaign is emblematic of that.

I have used
the cling film
that was in
the press

you were probably
saving
for sandwiches

Forgive me
it was so cheap
so protective
and the only available contraceptive

Can't believe the last episode is out tomorrow!

[How The Yes Was Won @howtheyeswaswon]

Tomorrow is our last episode 😭

We’ve got some great stories that didn’t fit in the overall narrative but that we just couldn’t leave out. It’s a short little fun one to close out the series. Hope you all enjoy it, and thanks for listening so far.

[How The Yes Was Won @howtheyeswaswon]

So many people put themselves on the line day in and day out for Repeal. @anitambyrne told us about the bravery required to do this in rural Ireland.

Also in this episode we put Leo Varadker’s “quiet revolution” claim to our interviewees, and the responses were simply *chefs kiss*

Double special thanks to Noreen and Noel for not caring if we were running a pirate radio station from their dining room for a year

The women made the sandwiches and Twitter took care of the rest.
