BEATHA & SLAINTE TEORANTA, trading as the Second Look Project, was founded in 2002. The Charity’s main objectives are to educate the public on the inherent value of human life from conception to natural death and on why it merits protection, by disseminating information on relevant existing research, or promoting original research, on issues relating to the protection of human life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Amendment_of_the_Constitution_of_Ireland:
The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution Act 1983 was an amendment to the Constitution of Ireland which inserted a subsection recognising the equal right to life of the pregnant woman and the unborn. Abortion had been subject to criminal penalty in Ireland since at least 1861; the amendment ensured that legislation or judicial interpretation would be restricted to allowing abortion in circumstances where the life of a pregnant woman was at risk. It was approved by referendum on 7 September 1983 and signed into law on 7 October 1983. In 2018, it was repealed by referendum.
