Helen and Graham Linehan on abortion in Ireland

By Amnesty International Ireland | Stories | No Comments

When Helen and Graham found out the foetus Helen was carrying would not survive, they were devastated. Terminating the pregnancy was the only option.

In Ireland, Helen would be sent to jail for having that operation.

We’re campaigning to decriminalise abortion in Ireland. You can take action on the Amnesty Ireland website here
