"The Strike 4 Repeal is a direct action that will take place on the 8th March 2017 in Ireland. Our demand is that the Irish government call a referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment by the 8th of March. If not, we will strike." via Strike 4 Repeal
"The Eighth Amendment equates the right to life of a pregnant woman with that of an embryo or foetus. In doing so it criminalises abortion in all cases except where to continue a pregnancy would result in death" (via Abortion Rights Campaign)
When we talk of "Repeal" we mean that this fascist amendment MUST be repealed/removed from the Irish constitution to protect the lives of pregnant people in Ireland. Legislation for abortion in the Republic of Ireland cannot occur until this happens.
