Abortion is not shameful. #freesafelegal #repealthe8th #prochoice #needabortionireland #sailandrail #ourbodiesourchoice #neverforget 'Sail and Rail' is about solidarity. We stand in solidarity with women, non binary people and trans men who are more than vessels. We stand in solidarity with those who have suffered physically and emotionally while our government has turned a blind eye. We stand in solidarity with the people who travel to make their choice. We stand with the people who want to but, for many reasons, cannot make that journey. We stand with people with wanted pregnancies who learn the baby will not survive outside of the womb. We stand in solidarity with those who have fought and continue to fight for change. We support the right to basic healthcare. We believe in free, safe, legal abortion. We believe in education, not fear. Abortions happen. Everyday. It's not new and it's not going away. The Irish government fails its citizens everyday it continues not to provide safe abortion for its citizens. Needabortionireland.org provides help and support for people in Ireland who choose to have an abortion. We are grateful for those who have shared their stories to help to break stigma. Too long has a narrative of sin and shame been shaped by the church and the state. The truth is, you already have people in your life who have had abortions. They are your friends, your family members, your school teacher, your taxi driver, your boss, your mother, your granny. There is no one personality type and there is no one abortion story. The systematic misinformation that has kept us controlled and silenced ends now. You may never need to have an abortion but someone else will. People have died and will continue to die without legislation. Let’s change that. Let’s take care of our community, starting with free, safe and legal healthcare. There is a referendum coming up next year to repeal the 8th amendment, so check you are registered to vote here: http://www.checktheregister.ie. If you are not registered to vote, pick up a form from your local post office, library or cop shop. Don’t leave it last minute. Do it now!! We want to extend our enormous gratitude to Megan Woods, our director and editor, for helping us with this project. We also want to thank Paula Geraghty for access to the treasure trove that is the Trade Union TV archive. Thank you Andrew Flood of WSM for your additional footage. Thank you to all the active witnesses and the record keepers for being present to document the uprising on Irish streets, ignored by our national broadcaster.
