Further reading on the situation in Ireland, the 1992 X Case, abortion laws and the referendum of 1983 which made the laws even more restrictive.
Since this blog was posted, there was the case of Savita Halappanavar, who died from septicaemia due to a miscarriage where the doctors refused to remove the foetus because it would technically be an abortion as the foetus’ heart was still beating.
In response to Savita’s death and the X Case, 21 years earlier, the Irish government passed the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act in 2013, which allowed abortions to be performed when the mother’s life is at risk, including risk of suicide.

I can’t believe the X Case happened. I can’t believe the laws didn’t change in response to it. I can’t believe our strict abortion laws killed a woman only three years ago. I can’t believe a woman’s body was kept artificially alive for three weeks after she died because she was pregnant. I can’t believe 6000 women travel to mainland to Britain every year for abortions because they can’t get them here. I can’t believe in Irish Law a pregnant person is seen as little more than a vessel, and not as a human being with any autonomy.

I wonder if we could ever get tumblr to care about Ireland’s incredibly fucked abortion laws which have led to women’s death. Over twenty years after X Case were abortions finally legalised in cases where the mother’s life is at risk, including suicide risk. And that’s it. That’s the only time abortions are legal. Otherwise you’ve got to travel to Britain.

Tonight the (almost) all-male parliament will vote to imprison a woman, for up to 14 years, who refuses to give her body to the sustenance of another human being, irrespective of almost all circumstances. It is irrespective of whether the pregnancy would do serious and irreversible harm to her health for the rest of her life. It is irrespective of the circumstances whereby she became pregnant, for example, if she had been gang-raped and was distraught at the prospect of bringing to full term the child of one of her rapists. It is irrespective of whether the woman would be able to cope physically, emotionally and psychologically with having, say, a 10th child. It’s irrespective of the woman’s will. And those 140 or so TDs who vote for this Bill tonight will vote for a provision (section 18) that makes it unmistakably clear that nothing in the Bill shall prevent a woman having an abortion abroad. Even up the road in Newry, Armagh, or Derry, where abortions are legal, if there is a long-term risk to a woman’s physical health, as distinct from merely her life.

Either Lucinda Creighton only read the first line of the x case test, or she has conveniently forgotten the "which can only be avoided by the termination of her pregnancy" bit.

Any inspiration from Wendy Davis is not long wearing off when your own parliament is debating whether or not we should just let women die instead of allowing access to abortion in as limited circumstances as if their life is in danger.

And even more so when it's a debate we've been having for 21 fucking years.
