Radhika Sanghani, The Telegraph, UK – Every day, around 10 Irish women travel to England for an abortion. Their reasons for terminating their pregnancies all vary – but their reason for travelling does not.
All of them are unable to have legal abortions in the Republic of Ireland – one of the few European countries that bans women from terminating pregnancies even in cases of rape, severe or fatal foetal impairment or a risk to their health – which is their human right under international law.
The only time a woman can legally have an abortion in Ireland is if her life is at risk.
