Halfpints 3: Northern Ireland’s stake in the abortion referendum
from The Irish Passport · host The Irish Passport
Northern Ireland is watching the abortion referendum in the Republic of Ireland carefully. It's already forcing political parties in the north to debate their abortion policies, and the vote's outcome will have immediate repercussions in Belfast. Naomi speaks to David McCann, deputy editor of political commentary site Slugger O'Toole about why social issues are in sync north and south. We hear how young abortion rights activists are organising coaches to cross the border and campaign in the republic's referendum. Naomi traces how the two jurisdictions ended up with similarly strict abortion bans, for very different reasons.
