Activists from the “Yes” campaign, urging people to vote “yes” in the referendum to repeal the eighth amendment of the Irish constitution, canvas voeters in Dublin on May 24, 2018. Ireland will hold a referendum on May 25 on whether to alter its constitution to legalise abortion. The Eighth Amendment of the Irish constitution recognises the equal right to life of the unborn and the mother. Abortion is illegal unless there is a real and substantial risk to the life of the mother, and a woman convicted of having an illegal termination faces 14 years imprisonment.
