Ireland Repeals Anti-Abortion Amendment in Landmark Vote for Reproductive Justice

Ireland
After years of tireless campaigning, The Republic of Ireland has voted overwhelmingly to overturn the abortion ban by 66.4% to 33.6%. The referendum repeals Ireland's Eighth Amendment, which was added to the constitution in 1983, which banned abortion in Ireland unless there was a "real and substantial risk" to the mother's life. The vote joins other progressive steps forward for the country, including 2015's historic vote to legalize same-sex marriage.

Takei's story joined all the others, lumped in with all the other villainous events perpetrated by powerful men. That is, until Shane Snow at The Observer dug deeper into the case.
