CWN Editor's Note: In 1983, Irish voters approved the Eighth Amendment in a 67%-33% vote. After voters repealed the amendment by a 66%-34% margin on May 25, John McGuirk of the Save the Eighth campaign said, “Shortly, legislation will be introduced that will allow babies to be killed in our country. We will oppose that legislation.”
