This Bill, called the Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Repeal of the Eighth Amendment) Bill, is set to repeal the Eighth amendment of the Constitution. It is ill judged if taken in isolation from supporting legislation. It would amend the Constitution to remove Article 40.3.3°, which recognises the right to life of the unborn. That progressed over many years and we eventually evolved to giving ladies the right to travel and the right to information.
