Repeal the 8th - have we talked about Ireland's 'abortion war?'

Nine women A DAY travel to the UK a day to access an abortion. I am vehemently pro-choice and I'm really hoping the law is changed as a result of the referendum in Ireland later this month. Even women who have been raped are not allowed abortions in Ireland!

I haven't seen much discussion of this on here, but perhaps I missed it when I was writing to my MP about changes to the GRC but I found this Standard Issue podcast which explained the issue to me and it is well worth a listen:

Part One: www.acast.com/standardissuespodcast/simep109doc1-part1-repealingtheeighth?autoplay

Part Two: www.acast.com/standardissuespodcast/simep110doc1part2-repealingthe8th

I'm scared to feel hopeful about the outcome of a referendum though...

Hi Cwenthryth

Can you possibly send us a screenshot of this ad so we can block it please, we do not explicitly allow political ads but sometimes the advertisers categorize themselves as something else which is how they get through from time to time.
A screenshot of the ad or click URL would be amazing so we can zap it.

Thanks for the screenshot TheGirlFromNoWhere.

We're working on blocking that ad now.

Thanks so much for the screenshot, I have blocked the URL - www.protectthe8th.ie/
This should block that ad but If by any chance you do see it again can you please click on it (I know you will not want to but we need that information to be 100% sure) and send me the www address that comes up, please. Some of the advertisers will try to bypass the rules we have on our account in order to push their message, we have 1000's of advertisers live at any one time so trying to find one ad is a needle in a haystack situation, especially if they are categorizing themselves as something they are not.

Thanks
