Director of the National Women's Council of Ireland Orla O’Connor and Pro-Life Campaign Manager Eilís Mulroy discuss the proposed changes to current abortion legislation.set to be published on Tuesday recommends 10 law changes and 60 operational changes.
“I know of some of those women myself who are holding babies of six months, 12 months, 18 months,” she said. “It's very important when you're taking a decision such an irreversible decision in so many areas of life, we encourage people to take time.”Chair of the National Women’s Council Orla O’Connor said the upcoming report is “evidence-led” and should be taken seriously.
Ms Mulroy argued that most abortions happen through GPs rather than IFPA and these findings are skewed.Ms O’Connor said the three-day waiting period is still resulting in people leaving the country to get an abortion. “The abortion numbers are so huge that they don't suggest that there was a problem with access,” she said. “The Minister for Health told us in 2022, there was 8,500 abortions. That's one baby aborted for every seven being born - that's empty preschool children missing from classrooms all over the country.”
