In the Republic of Ireland, a constitutional ban on abortion means that only women whose pregnancies put their lives at risk can have access to safe, legal abortion services.
Amnesty International has created a powerful video highlighting that women from all backgrounds and demographics in Ireland are at risk because of the Eighth Amendment.
The video -- entitled "25 annoying things about being pregnant" -- begins with interviews from pregnant women discussing common pregnancy bugbears, like morning sickness, tiredness, and strangers touching their bumps.
But, then the video cuts to women who've been affected by Ireland's abortion ban.
"When you're forced to carry a baby that won't survive out of the womb," said one woman.
"When you're not given all the information because you don't have a choice anyway," said another.
