“Before we had our two beautiful children – I had three miscarriages that truly nearly broke me. I couldn’t leave our apartment for three months after the last one and I couldn’t bear to speak about it with my friends. When I was pregnant with Charlie – we were afraid to celebrate. Repealing the 8th amendment isn’t about the value you place on life inside the womb. It’s not. It’s about a woman’s right to choose. Abortion is not a decision that any woman wants to make. It’s just not. I don’t need a list of why women might want or need an abortion – it’s not my place to judge. It’s no one’s. I stand #together4yes and I support every woman’s right to control her own body. We will #Repealthe8th. Now make sure you’re registered to vote!”

“I say enough. Enough to a women’s pain. To her heartache and agony. To her feeling trapped. To her feeling ashamed or lost or alone.

“I say enough to the laws and restraints of a forgotten time being pressed open modern, strong and capable women.

“I say enough to women not having a choice or a voice.

“You may say that I have no right to an opinion as I’m not Irish- but as a woman I have every right. I stand with the women of Ireland.

The Eurovision contestant and politician previously told the Irish Times that repealing the 8th amendment would be “a contradiction of the most fundamental principle of the legal system; the principle that human life is to be safeguarded and defended at all times”.
