6 years after Ireland's abortion legalization, a coalition of women's, doctors', and human rights groups calls for decriminalization, removal of mandatory waiting periods, and 12-week gestational limit revision.
6 years after Ireland's legalization of abortion, women with crisis pregnancies still face barriers to accessing services, prompting a coalition of women's, doctors', and human rights groups to call for further changes, including decriminalization, removal of mandatory waiting periods, revisions to the 12-week gestational limit, and legislation for safe access zones around clinics.
