"25 May 2018 was a landmark day for Ireland - the day 66.4 per cent of voters repealed the Eight Amendment and voted to allow for access to abortion in a once staunchly Catholic country. But how did we get to that point? From barely even mentioning the word 'abortion' prior to 2012, to a two-thirds majority in favour of removing one of the most decisive articles in our Constitution, a long road was travelled by the people of Ireland in a remarkably short lenght of time. It was not a straighforward journey however, and much work was required to lead the national conversation towards that decisive Yes vote." - Back cover.
