Ireland’s Feminists Lost the Abortion Argument in ’83. This Time We Can Win.

DUBLIN — In 1983 the Irish people voted to give a fertilized egg the same right to life as the
woman who carries it. Feminists tried to stop it. We argued that crisis pregnancies were a
reality of women’s lives and that we needed the right to choose how to deal with them. We
said that the constitutional amendment on the ballot, which made abortion illegal unless the
mother’s life is in danger, would harm women. We marched and chanted “Get your rosaries
off our ovaries.” A Catholic bishop pronounced that the most dangerous place for a baby
was in a woman’s womb.

We lost, overwhelmingly. But Ireland has changed. On May 25, the Irish people will vote on
whether to repeal the Eighth Amendment. This time I think we can win.

Contraception had not long been legalized in Ireland in 1983. There was no divorce. The
Roman Catholic Church was enormously powerful. I was working at a rape crisis center in
Belfast, in Nothern Ireland, and six of us packed into a Mini and crossed the border into the
republic to take part in the campaign against the amendment. In Donegal, the most northern
county in the Republic, we handed out a poster featuring a drawing by the artist Käthe
Kollwitz, of a mother pulled every which way by her needy children. “Its life that needs
amending, not the constitution,” it said. A boy hissed at us that we should be raped and
made pregnant. Our posters were flung to the ground.

In Carndonagh, a small town in Donegal with a steep main street dominated by a large
Catholic church, two nuns took down our poster and told us to go back to where we came
from. Donegal had one of the highest majorities for the amendment in the country.

Soon after the vote, a 15-year-old girl gave birth and died along with her baby boy in a grotto
for the Blessed Virgin in a rural town. No one admitted knowing she was pregnant. In 1992
the authorities tried to stop a suicidal 14-year-old girl who was pregnant as a result of
rape from traveling to England for an abortion.

But the church does not have the moral authority it did in ’83. There have been revelations
of child abuse and cruelty toward pregnant women — scandals the church did its best to
cover up. At the same time, the women’s movement has grown, and women have begun to
speak out about their experiences of crisis pregnancy and abortion. And the return of Irish
emigrants from more liberal countries has driven change: Divorce is now legal, as is same-
sex marriage.
