Since no government has acted wisely
We feel forced to act the fool
The lack reproductive rights for women in Ireland
Excludes women with reproductive capacity
from full citizenship, forcing women to go abroad
While Ireland shuts its eyes
Let us rise out of this mess
Irish Men and Irish Women
And all who live in Ireland
In the name of the citizenship
Promised to us on these steps
Ninety-nine years ago
We call on the government of Ireland
To give women with reproductive capacity
their full rights as citizens
Repeal of the eight amendment
Local abortion now!
Irish Men and Irish Women
And all who live in Ireland

We call on the government of Ireland
to fulfill our international obligation
To provide women with reproductive capacity
Access to their full their full reproductive rights
Repeal the eight amendment
Local abortion now!
Irish Men and Irish Women
And all who live in Ireland

We call on the government of Ireland
In the name of Savita,
of Miss X, of Miss Y
and the woman in the NP case
In the name of A and B and
C and D and of all women
With reproductive capacity in this country
Repeal the eight amendment
Local abortion now!
