(Right to Life) – The Labour Party in Ireland has adopted a policy to support making abortion legal up until birth without any restriction.
The policy was announced and voted through last Saturday November 13, during their annual party conference. Since the repeal of the Eighth Amendment in 2018, abortion has been legal on demand up until 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In addition to making abortion legal up until birth, Labour’s new policy seeks to remove the current 3-day waiting period between initial consultation and abortion, as well as to remove the right of medical professionals to conscientiously refuse to be involved in abortion.
Ellen O’Sullivan of Labour Women introduced the motion on behalf of Tipperary, saying: “The barriers to access free, safe, legal and local abortions are numerous and for many people they are too great to overcome.”
The motion was passed later that day.
