“#Repealthe8th”: Ireland, Abortion Access and the Movement to Remove the Eighth Amendment
(2018)
Kennedy, Sinead
“#Repealthe8th”: Ireland, Abortion Access and the Movement to Remove the Eighth Amendment
(2018)
Kennedy, Sinead
Abstract:
Abortion is illegal in almost all circumstances in Ireland, permitted only where there is a risk to the life of the woman due to the eighth amendment to the Irish Constitution. While abortion is banned, women living in Ireland do access abortion; they do so legally by travelling abroad, and illegally within Ireland by accessing the abortion pill online. This access is highly mediated by race, class and migration status. This article will consider the politics of Ireland’s abortion ban through the prism of public debates around abortion, reflecting on the discursive devices employed to both challenge and uphold the status quo on abortion. This conclusion will focus on different dimensions of the “Repeal” movement; a movement that propelled Ireland to finally face up to the reality of abortion and change it laws through removing the eighth amendment from the constitution.

Abstract:
Since the last edition of the Ethical Guide in 1989. there have been many changes in the practice of medicine ranging from high technological procedures ethical problems relating to reproductive medicine genetics serious infection advertising and in general. changes in social conditions of many of our patients. The present Guide has been revised and a new format established with numerical identifiable paragraphs to simplify referrals to the Guide. The Ethics Committee has spent a lot of time in the past year re-editing for this issue and I must compliment Professor P. Keane for his enthusiasm and diligence as Chairman of the Committee. New changes relate to data protection. donor organs, protocol on brain death a statement on abortion deputising arrangements. requests for medico-legal reports in-practice information.

Abortion among young women and subsequent life outcomes
(2014)
Casey, Patricia R.
Abstract:
This article will discuss the nature of the association between abortion and mental health problems. Studies arguing about both sides of the debate as to whether abortion per se is responsible will be presented. The prevalence of various psychiatric disorders will be outlined and where there is dispute between studies, these will be highlighted. The impact of abortion on other areas such as education, partner relationships and sexual function will also be considered. The absence of specific interventions will be highlighted. Suggestions for early identification of illness will be made.

Abortion and Reproduction in Ireland: Shame, Nation-building and the Affective Politics of Place

Abortion and Reproduction in Ireland: Shame, Nation-building and the Affective Politics of Place
(2019)
Fischer, Clara
Abstract:
In 2018, Irish citizens voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to allow for the introduction of a more liberal abortion law. In this article, I develop a retrospective reading of the stubborn persistence of the denial of reproductive rights to women in Ireland over the decades. I argue that the ban’s severity and longevity is rooted in deep-seated, affective attachments that formed part of processes of postcolonial nation-building and relied on shame and the construction of the Irish nation as a particular, gendered place. The article develops the notion of ‘gendered displacement’ to conceptualise abortion travel in the context of the history of women’s coercive confinement, and provides an affective, feminist reading of the interlinkages between place and nationhood. It also draws on three cases—the X, Y and Z cases—to illustrate the centrality of place and women’s occupation of space to the analysis of Ireland’s abortion ban, which should be read i...

Abortion care in Ireland: Developing legal and ethical frameworks for conscientious provision

Abortion care in Ireland: Developing legal and ethical frameworks for conscientious provision
(2019)
Donnelly, Mary; Murray, Claire
Abstract:
This article celebrates the remarkable changes which have occurred in the provision of abortion care in Ireland following the vote to remove the restrictive Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland in May 2018. However, it also identifies ways in which the emerging legal, ethical and clinical landscape is still impeding the conscientious provision of abortion care. It argues that in order to address these impediments, more attention needs to be paid to the ethical context for conscientious provision. This requires political leadership as well as ongoing leadership by professional bodies to develop both the clinical and the ethical guidance for conscientious provision.

Abortion in Northern Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights: Reflections from the UK Supreme Court

Abortion in Northern Ireland and the European Convention on Human Rights: Reflections from the UK Supreme Court
(2019)
Ní Ghráinne, Bríd; McMahon, Aisling
Abstract:
On 7 June 2018, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UKSCt) issued its decision on, inter alia, whether Northern Ireland’s near-total abortion ban was compatible with the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). This article critically assesses the UKSC’s treatment of international law in this case. It argues that the UKSCt was justified in finding that Northern Ireland’s ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and FFA was a violation of Article 8, but that the majority erred in its assessment of Article 3 ECHR and of the relevance of international law more generally.

Abortion referendums in Ireland

Reidy, Theresa
Abortion referendums in Ireland
(2019)
Reidy, Theresa
Abstract:
Ireland was a conservative outpost on the European periphery for much of the twentieth century. From independence in 1922, the state pursued social policies heavily influenced by religious values, and indeed the 1937 constitution embedded many of these positions in the framework of the state. The constitution included a prohibition on divorce and a statement which strongly favored women remaining in the domestic sphere. These policies were supported by the majority Catholic population, but social values began to evolve by the 1960s. This can be seen in the shifting narratives in the debates on many social and political issues. This chapter will focus on a single issue – abortion. It will undertake an evaluation of the debates on the six abortion referendum question wordings, campaign narratives, and voting patterns. The analysis will provide compelling evidence of remarkable value change in just four decades.

Access to Abortion in Cases of Fatal Foetal Abnormality: A New Direction for the European Court of Human Rights?
(2019)
Ní Ghráinne, Bríd
Abstract:
In contrast to the UN Human Rights Committee (HRComm), the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has not yet found that a prohibition of abortion in cases of fatal fetal abnormality (FFA) violates the prohibition of torture or inhuman and degrading treatment (Art 3 ECHR). We argue that the ECtHR is on the verge of aligning itself with the HRComm because: (i) recent ECtHR jurisprudence is broadening its interpretation of rights within the abortion context; (ii) the ECtHR frequently uses international law as an interpretative tool; and (iii) moving in the direction of the HRComm would not be as controversial as it may have been in the past. More broadly, we take a positive view of fragmentation and demonstrate how an international court, with some ingenuity, can broaden its approach on sensitive topics, by engaging with views of other international courts or Treaty Monitoring Bodies.

After the 8th: Ireland, Abortion, and International Law
(2019)
McMahon, Aisling; Ní Ghráinne, Bríd
Abstract:
By repealing the 8th amendment, the Irish people gave its government a strong mandate to liberalize its restrictive abortion laws. In this paper, we argue that international law has a significant role to play in the drafting, interpretation and monitoring of Ireland’s future proposed abortion law framework. We explore the relationship between international and domestic law, and argue that there are three key roles for international law in the current abortion context, namely: (1) ensuring at a minimum that new abortion laws are drafted in a way which respects Ireland’s international law obligations; (2) ensuring that laws are interpreted and implemented in a way which facilitates practical and effective access to abortion, and (3) providing avenues to challenge obstacles to securing legally available abortion services in Ireland. In making these arguments, we acknowledge that although Ireland is party to a variety of international law treaties which set out obligations in respect of...

Conservatives, liberals and pragmatists: disaggregating the results of the Irish abortion referendums of 1992
(1995)
Sinnott, Richard; Walsh, Brendan M.; Whelan, Brendan J.
Abstract:
This paper examines the results of three referendums on abortion which were held in November 1992 relating to Travel, Information and the Substantive Issue. By solving a set of simultaneous equations, it shows that the No vote on the Substantive Issue can be disaggregated so as to estimate the magnitudes of the conservative and liberal votes. It appears that the bulk of voters fall into three groups of almost equal size ? about 30 per cent are classified as conservatives (voting No on all three issues), about the same proportion as liberals (Yes to Travel and Information and No on the Substantive Issue) and a slightly smaller proportion as pragmatists (Yes on all three issues). A measure of the proportion voting No for liberal reasons is derived which shows substantial regional variations. This measure is also shown to have a high negative correlation with the Fianna Fail share of the vote in each constituency.

Debating Contraception, Abortion And Divorce In An Era Of Controversy And Change: New Agendas And RT? Radio And Television Programmes 1968-2018
(2020)
LOUGHLIN, PAUL
Abstract:
The study begins with the publication in 1968 of the papal encyclical, Humanae Vitae, forbidding all forms of artificial contraception, and ends in 2018 with the repeal of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which had introduced a constitutional ban on abortion. At the outset, contraception, divorce and abortion were legally unobtainable in Ireland and forbidden by the Catholic Church. Fifty years later, all three are legally obtainable. The period 1983 to 2018 saw a series of what came to be known as 'social' referendums on proposed amendments to the Constitution of Ireland relating to abortion, marriage equality and divorce. Those guarding what they saw as essential Irish family and sexual values were pitched against those seeking to advance and liberalise Irish society. Yet this was no simple, clear cut, binary struggle between homogenous 'conservative' and 'liberal' groups. Each side comprised its share of unlikely bedfellows. The a...

Abstract:
Equid herpesvirus 8 (EHV-8), formerly known as asinine herpesvirus 3, is an alpha herpesvirus that is closely related to equid herpesviruses 1 and 9 (EHV-1 and EHV-9). The pathogenesis of EHV-8 is relatively little studied and to date has only been associated with respiratory disease in donkeys in Australia and horses in China. A single EHV-8 genome sequence has been generated for strain Wh in China, but is apparently incomplete and contains frame shifts in two genes. In this study, the complete genome sequences of four EHV-8 strains isolated in Ireland between 2003 and 2015 were determined by Illumina sequencing. Two of these strains were isolated from cases of abortion in horses, and were misdiagnosed initially as EHV-1, and two were isolated from donkeys, one with neurological disease. The four genome sequences are very similar to each other, exhibiting greater than 98.4% nucleotide identity, and their phylogenetic clustering together demonstrated that genomic diversity is not de...

Exploring the relationship between lay theories of gender and attitudes to abortion in the context of a national referendum on abortion policy
(2019)
O’Connor, Cliodhna; Maher, Paul J.; Kadianaki, Irini
Abstract:
The relationship between lay theories of gender and attitudes to abortion policy has received minimal empirical attention. An ongoing theoretical debate in the psychological essentialism literature queries whether biological attributions causally influence social attitudes or primarily function to justify existing attitudinal commitments. The current research used the context of a national referendum on abortion in Ireland to investigate whether endorsement of certain gender theories is contingent on their rhetorical construction as supporting particular attitudes to abortion. Two experimental studies were conducted online in the three weeks preceding the Irish abortion referendum. The studies tested whether participants would adapt their causal gender beliefs after reading that biological (Study 1; N = 348) or social (Study 2; N = 241) accounts of gender supported or conflicted with their intended vote in the referendum. Both studies showed the opposite effect: causal gender theori...

<p>Background</p> <p>Findings on the demographic and sexual health characteristics associated with the experience of a crisis pregnancy are important to inform the public health policy of a country, including Ireland. Studies from other jurisdictions have suggested that certain demographic groups are at risk for unintended pregnancies and the disparity between the groups has been growing in recent years. Ireland is a country which experienced much economic and societal change in the first decade of the 21<sup>st</sup> century; changes which are likely to have affected demographic variables pertaining to sexual health. The current study had two aims: to investigate changes in the socioeconomic characteristics associated with crisis pregnancies over a seven year period [2003 to 2010], and to investigate the rec...

Guide to the regulation of information (services outside the State for termination of pregnancies) Bill, 1995
(1995)
Department of Health (DoH)
Abstract:
The Bill forms part of the Government's approach to minimising the circumstances in which women seek to have abortions; research, education and counselling will also be put in place towards that end. The Bill's emphasis on counselling arises from the facts, established by research, that the majority of Irish women travelling to the UK for abortions have not received any counselling before travelling, and that, where counselling is received, a considerable number of women decide against abortion. The specific objectives of the Bill are (a) to clarify the legal entitlements and obligations of persons or agencies who give abortion information; (b) to ensure that any doctors, advice agencies etc who provide abortion information to pregnant women do so only in the context of full counselling on all of the available options, without any advocacy or promotion of abortion

Abstract:
The overall aim of this study was to provide detailed statistics on women who travel from Ireland1 to Great Britain for an abortion. This was done by using data on abortion notifications held by the Department of Health in London, plus data available from internal databases of major independent abortion providers2. This document provides a historical analysis of abortion data relating to residents of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales with respect to overall rates, age, gestation, provider, place of termination and marital status3. The analysis aimed to identify how abortion patterns may vary across these countries and if and how they have changed over time.

Ireland on the Frontline: challenging foetal rights ideologies
(2019)
Barry, Ursula
Abstract:
In 2013, I wrote about the rise in foetal rights ideology and the consequences for women in Ireland and globally. I looked at both developments in the U.S and in Ireland and used the example of judgments from the Canadian Supreme Court as a reference point for kind of debate that is needed in Ireland. I view Ireland as on the global frontline in the battle over women’s reproductive rights and the fight for reproductive justice. Many things have changed since I wrote the chapter for Abortion in Ireland Volume 2 (Quilty et al 2013) and not much for the better. Ireland is among a few few countries across the globe with the most restrictive abortion law, together with a highly restrictive clause establishing foetal rights in the constitution. The full weight of criminal law penalties is used to create nervousness and fear among women and potential health service providers. A pregnant woman who accesses abortion, or anyone who assists or facilitates her in accessing abortion, other than ...

Knowledge and attitudes of Irish GPs towards abortion following its legalisation: a cross-sectional study

Abstract:
Background: In May 2018, the Irish Constitution was changed following a referendum allowing termination of pregnancy by abortion. It is envisaged that the majority of terminations will be by medical abortion and will take place in general practice before 12 weeks gestation. Aim: To elicit attitudes and level of preparedness of Irish GPs to provide medical abortion services. Design & setting: Cross-sectional study of 222 GPs who were associated with the University of Limerick Graduate Entry Medical School (GEMS) and GP training programme. Method: An anonymous online questionnaire was distributed via email. Reminders were sent 2 and 4 weeks later. Results: The response rate was 57.2% (n = 127/222). Of the responders, 105 (82.7%) had no training in this area, with only 4 (3.1%) indicating that they had sufficient training. Nearly all responders (n = 119, 93.7%) were willing to share abortion information with patients. Just under half of responders (n = 61, 48.0%) would be willing t...
