A look at the Atheist Ireland campaign to repeal the 8th Amendment with Ashling O'Brien of Atheist Ireland. 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.  

Ashling O’Brien is an Officer of Atheist Ireland and Chair of the Dublin Regional Branch. Ashling graduated from the Trinity Access Programme for Mature Students in 2004, she holds an honours degree in Psychology from TCD and an MSc in Applied Psychology (Mental Health) from University of Ulster. Ashling blogs at Godless In Dublin and she is also on Twitter.
