IRELAND-ABORTION-POLITICS-VOTE

A picture shows a poster urging a 'yes' vote in the referendum to repeal the eighth amendment of the Irish constitution, a subsection that effectively outlaws abortion in most cases, in Dublin on May 13, 2018. - Ireland will hold a referendum on May 25 on whether to alter its constitution to legalise abortion. The Eighth Amendment of the Irish constitution recognises the equal right to life of the unborn and the mother. Abortion is currently illegal unless there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother, and a woman convicted of having an illegal termination faces 14 years imprisonment. A 'Yes' vote will lead to the repeal of the Eighth Amendment and the creation of a legal framework to regulate abortion, a 'no' vote will preserve the Eighth.
