Abortion is illegal in almost every circumstance in Ireland, making
it the only democracy in the western world to have such a
constitutional ban. This anthology, a national bestseller, is the
definitive collection of the writing and art inspired by the most
pressing debate in contemporary Ireland, and beyond. * Between 1980
and 2015, at least 165,438 Irish women and girls accessed UK
abortion services. In 2016, the figure was 3,265. * Any woman or
girl who procures an abortion, or anyone who assists a woman to
procure an abortion in Ireland can be criminalised and imprisoned
for up to fourteen years. * A woman may not procure an abortion in
Ireland if she is pregnant due to incest or rape, or to prevent
inevitable miscarriage and fatal foetal abnormality. The movement
to repeal the Eighth Amendment and make abortion legal in Ireland
has grown massively over the last few years. This book shares the
literature, personal stories, opinions, photography, art and design
produced by the movement that catalysed 2018's momentous
referendum: it features prize-winning novelists, critically
acclaimed poets, cutting-edge artists and journalists on the front
line. Contributors include Lisa McInerney, Anne Enright, Louise
O'Neill, Caitlin Moran, Tara Flynn, Aisling Bea, Sinead Gleeson and
Emmet Kiran.
