The debate around the upcoming abortion referendum is complex, sensitive and multi-faceted. Or at least, it should be.
Feeling the need for in-depth and respectful discussion of the issues this sore spot in Ireland’s moral conscience touches on, Andrea Horan (creator of accessible politics portal The HunReal Issues and co-owner of Dublin’s favourite nail bar Tropical Popical), and Una Mullally (long-standing Irish Times journalist and editor of Repeal the 8th) have launched a new podcast series.
Don’t Stop Repealin’ is putting out regular episodes in the run-up to the referendum, with the aim of digesting the media commentary on the issue and getting to grips with topics like bad ads on Facebook, and whether Catholicism and being pro-choice are compatible.
