Why Cork doctor will be voting no to RepealI AM proud to have worked as a medical doctor in Cork for the past 12 years. It is for this reason that I cannot support the upcoming referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment. The Eighth Amendment has been accused, most unfairly, of having caused the deaths of pregnant Irish women. For the record, no woman has died as a result of the Eighth Amendment, though this falsehood has been repeated time and again. That is why I will be voting to retain the Eighth Amendment, and why I will vote No on May 25 (Ironically, International Missing Children’s Day).
