Episode 01: Against Repeal

In this episode, Ciara meets a philosophy student who says he owes his life to the 8th Amendment, a Polish anarchist who hates the term anti-choice, a feminist student who believes ‘abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women’, and a woman who just couldn’t find a pro-choice life ethic she could feel good about. Ciara also goes to the rally for life, deals with graphic abortion images, and talks to some of the more staunchly anti-repeal campaigners.

Ciara laid out her position with some information on her background in Episode 0.

The Eighth is a podcast series documenting the upcoming referendum on the Eighth Amendment to the constitution of Ireland. This new podcast attempts to answer tough questions about life, rights, and why we battle so hard on the issue of abortion in Ireland, through the lens of a pro repeal host attempting to bring clarity, understanding and some degree of common ground to this incredibly fraught space.
