Sinead Redmond and Caroline Simons - Pro and Anti Abortion Activists
What does Ireland's abortion referendum say about the country today? Stephen Sackur speaks to Sinead Redmond and Caroline Simons, who are on either side of the abortion debate.
What does Ireland's abortion referendum say about the country today? On 25 May Irish voters face a choice - by way of a referendum they can either keep a constitutional amendment which outlaws abortion in all but the most exceptional circumstances, or they can change their constitution and pave the way for the legalisation of abortion. Given Ireland's history, culture and religion it is a fierce debate. Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur is joined by two campaigners - Sinead Redmond, an advocate of expanding abortion rights, and Caroline Simons, an opponent.
