Ireland is to legalize some abortions after the death of a pregnant woman who was refused a termination.
It was announced yesterday that the Dublin government would legislate to decriminalize abortion if the mothers life was at risk.
Reforms are expected to include the threat of suicide as a ground for abortion, but may not extend to pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
The country has the strictest abortion laws in Europe, and any move to change them is expected to face strong opposition from the Catholic Church.

How can any doctor possibly know whether the threat is real or merely an excuse?Well, one could leave the doctors the option to take the statements of the poor dears at face value and institutionalize them for their own protection for a couple of years...until they can be sure the crisis has passed...

They learned nothing from California where the number of abortions now exceeds the number of live births, thanks to a clause like that in their abortion bill enacted BEFORE Roe v. Wade.

IDIOTS!
Since we are talking the UK, here, a study conducted in Wales found that women who get abortions are
225 times more likely to commit suicide than women who go ahead and have their baby.
225 times more likely!!!!!
Think about it: They want women who are suicidal to get abortions which are known to increases suicidal tendencies to the Nth degree!?!
It's like throwing gasoline on a fire!
Cheers!

Well, under an abortion-on-demand system like ours, yes. There’s currently no need for a woman to lie when it’s perfectly acceptable to abort for convenience.
