http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Irish-women-travel-to-Britain-for-abortions-every-day-by-the-dozen.htmlThe British Department of Health has released figures which reveal that 12 Irish women travel across to Britain to have abortions every day. Abortion is illegal in Ireland.
Last year 4,422 women who used abortion clinics in Britain gave Irish addresses.
On the back of these figures the Irish Family Planning Association has asked the Government to legalize abortion despite the fact that this figure has dropped continuously over the last eight years. These figures have dropped from 6,673 in 2001.
Niall Behan, the Chief Executive of the Irish Family Planning Association said “While this trend is a step in the right direction the harsh reality behind these statistics is that every day 12 women must make the journey to Britain to access safe and legal abortion services.
“These figures are compelling evidence of the need for domestic-based abortion services in Ireland.”
The association has calculated that since 1980 at least 142,060 women travelled to Britain for abortions.

thank goodness they can go to Britain
but Irish women should learn to say NO to any man who wants to have sex with them and doesn't wear a condom.
and the men of Ireland should stop being stupid.
