Quote:Campaigners and politicians are calling for a referendum to be held to repeal the eighth amendment of the constitution, which grants equal rights to the foetus and the mother.
“We want to sell a really strong, confident message to the government that it’s not enough to kick the issue down the road anymore,” said organiser Cathleen Doherty of the Abortion Rights Campaign.
“We want to see a pledge to repeal the eighth in their manifestos for the election,” she told AFP.
