According to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/8thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8thAmendment</span></a> only pertains to punishments after conviction. So, the houseless absolutely have standing to sue for the fines and imprisonment punishments as a result of these laws. I would also argue, as the dissent points out, that the law is being applied unequally, a violation of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/14thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>14thAmendment</span></a>.</p>

iamBullivant<p>On 25th May 2018 the Irish people voted by 66.4% to overturn the Eighth Amendment, ending the Abortion Ban. Previously abortion was only allowed when a woman's life is at risk, but not in cases of rape, incest or fatal foetal abnormality. The only constituency to vote against repealing the Eighth amendment was Donegal, with 51.9% voting against the change.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/IrishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abortion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/8thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8thAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a></p>
