How does the Eighth Amendment impact the health of pregnant women?
We spoke to two doctors on different sides of the debate.
Professor Louise Kenny is a consultant obstetrician who is campaigning for a 'Yes' vote in the forthcoming referendum.
She says she has "personally felt the consequences of how the Eighth Amendment curtails the care we can offer pregnant women" and that there is a difference between preserving the health and preventing the death of a woman.
"Even though a woman with diabetes might go blind or have renal failure and end up on dialysis, we cannot perform a termination of pregnancy, and anyone who says we can is ignorant of the law."
Dr. John Monaghan is a consultant obstetrician at Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, and is involved with the Medical Alliance for the Eighth group.
He says, "If you look at abortion figures for the UK that are done for the health of the mother as opposed to the life of the mother, almost none of them are done for physical health reasons, they're done for mental health reasons."
He also says there is "flexibility there for a clinician to act, and our entire clinical life is taken up with assessing risk."
