Commentary From The Cedar Lounge Revolution
11th July 2022
An Éirígí poster from the 2018 Repeal referendum.
Many thanks to the Éirígí activist who forwarded these materials. These posters were issued by the party during the Thirty-sixth amendment of the Constitution of Ireland to repeal the Eighth Amendment and the then prohibition on abortion. As with most posters and leaflets produced by Éirígí they are visually very clear and crisp with a strong visual identity.

Since we’ve added a few Repeal materials recently (and the collection was put together before the referendum originally) I’ve updated the Abortion and Reproductive Rights collection in the archive: https://www.leftarchive.ie/collection/2041/

That word ginmhilleadh. Its the Irish for abortion. Must check its history as an Irish word. Milleadh means destruction. Gin I think means … gene or creation….I’ll have to look it up.
But anyway I’d be surprised if this hasn’t been discussed somewhere in the Gaeilgeverse….that word ginmhilleadh, should it be replaced with a less loaded term?

Yep. Gin has many meanings including procreated being; child.
So ginmhilleadh is definitely a loaded term. Or is it?
