520    "Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Irish law 
       currently permits abortion only where the life of the 
       pregnant woman is at risk. Since 1983, the 8th Amendment 
       to the Constitution has recognised the "unborn" as having 
       a right to life equal to that of the "mother". 
       Consequently, most people in Ireland who wish to bring 
       their pregnancies to an end either import the abortion 
       pill illegally, travel abroad to access abortion, or 
       continue with the pregnancy against their will. Now, 
       however, there are signs of change. A constitutional 
       referendum will be held in 2018, after which it will be 
       possible to reimagine, redesign, and reform the law on 
       abortion. Written by experts in the field, this book draws
       on experience from other countries, as well as experiences
       of maternal medical care in Ireland, to call for a 
       feminist, woman-centered, and rights-based radical new 
       approach to abortion law in Ireland. Directly challenging 
       grounds-based abortion law, this accessible guide brings 
       together feminist analysis, comparative research, human 
       rights law, and political awareness to propose a new 
       constitutional and legislative settlement on reproductive 
       autonomy in Ireland. It offers practical proposals for 
       policymakers and advocates, including model legislation, 
       making it an essential campaigning tool leading up to the 
       referendum." Irish law currently permits abortion only
