Ireland Chooses Abortion
In January 2019, state-sponsored abortion services became available in Ireland. The Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 (the 2018 Act), provides that ‘termination of pregnancy’ is available on demand in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. … These changes to the law were made notwithstanding the duty of doctors in Ireland to practise ‘evidence-based’ medicine.
