Medical abortion to be made availible in the North.

Morag · 2012-10-10 19:54:02

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/1010/breaking57.html Looks like that will cut the cost for women traveling, they only have to go as far as up North, still it's 350 sterling and then the bus/train costs and only if your only 9 weeks gone. Wonder if there will be an increase of women going up north…

And with the criteria of it being a serious risk to the life of the mother. The same constitutional conclusion to the issue as I thought the Republic had reached.

It's hardly an abortion free-for-all as you imply.

I never said it was a free for all. But it's more of an option then women have had so far.
