Right now in Ireland a child pregnant as a result of rape is forced to continue that pregancy under the law, regardless of her wishes. Last year a 12 year old child had to travel to the UK to access the care she needed. You can ONLY change this by voting yes.
Right now in Ireland a family who recieve a devastating diagnosis about their much wanted pregancy have no option but to carry to full term regardless of their wishes. Two families a week travel to the UK to access the care they need. You can ONLY change this by voting yes.
Right now in Ireland women can have their cancer treatment stopped if they become pregnant, regardless of their wishes. Michelle Harte had to travel to the UK while gravely ill to access the abortion care she needed. She later died. You can ONLY change this by voting yes.
Right now in Ireland at least 10 people are packing their bags, boarding a plane and sitting in a waiting room in a foreign city. Their reasons are varied, complex and private. They are all valid. We should be caring for them here at home. You can ONLY change this by voting Yes.
Right now in Ireland 3 people are taking illegal pills they ordered online. Some of them are scared and alone. The pills are safe but if something goes wrong who can they turn to? They should be able to speak to their doctor without fear. You can ONLY change this by voting Yes.
All of these are real people. They are women you know. They are your sisters, your friends, your mother, your aunt. They are not hypothetical situations or "hard cases". They are our loved ones and they deserve better. Someone you you know needs your yes on May 25th.
