 * See the edit summary. There's already a linked article about the death of Savita Halapannaver, and the addition you entered made little sense in the context of a section on the campaign to repeal the eighth amendment. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 17:10, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

I rerated this article down to a C. It was informative, but is entirely unreferenced. How do i know if any of it is true?!Yobmod (talk) 15:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Why isn't the original text forthe Wiki article included in this biased page. The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013 Having passed both Houses of the Oireachtas in July 2013, it was signed into law on 30 July by Michael D. Higgins, the President of Ireland,[3] and commenced on 1 January 2014.[4]. This means that if the womans life is put in danger the current legislation allows for termination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.87.166.18 (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There is an article on the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013, which is where it should belong. This article is about the 8th amendment. Not the entirity of Irish abortion law and cases, just that constitutional amendment. I know in common speech "the 8th" is used to refer to Ireland's abortion laws, but this should be about this constituional change. There is a separate article for Abortion in the Republic of Ireland, perhaps you'd like to look there? ____Ebelular (talk) 10:08, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Also,, as mentioned several times to you now, you can't just copy-and-paste content from one place to another. What do the "[3]" and "[4]" in your insertion refer to? We've no way of knowing, but we do know it's not the references actually numbered 3 and 4 in the article. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 10:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Offences Against the Person Act 1861
Whoever wrote this article was a little confused about the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, which codified the common law and didn't criminalize abortion in itself. Abortion was illegal in England since time immemorial, and I suspect that was also the case in Ireland. Wereon (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
