Abortion Rights Campaign

About The Abortion Rights Campaign

The Abortion Rights Campaign is a movement for choice and change in Ireland and Northern Ireland, made up of people who believe women’s lives and health matter. 

We aim to promote broad national support for a referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment to the Constitution by Dáil Éireann; to push for the introduction of extensive abortion legislation by the Northern Ireland Assembly; and to ensure the health of women in pregnancy is protected in line with international human rights standards.

Like other personal healthcare decisions, choosing whether to continue with a pregnancy is a decision that should be made between a woman and her doctor.

We believe this. So do the majority of people in Ireland.

However, in Ireland and Northern Ireland, there are many barriers to women’s full reproductive rights.

If we work together, we can dismantle these barriers so that women and their families can make their own decisions, for themselves.
