Five days to recover but not three days to consider? The contradiction of paid leave for abortion

We’re now being told by the Irish government that abortion is upsetting — so upsetting, in fact, that you are entitled to five days paid leave from work to recover. But the same people are telling us they want to scrap the waiting period of three days to consider and reflect before making the decision. That makes no sense.

EXCLUSIVE — Esme’s open-letter: “The 3-day wait was my saving grace. Abolishing it would be catastrophic”

Pathetic government backing SF to chase non-existent Repeal vote

To understand the strange obsession that our most ghastly Irish politicians have with liberalising our abortion laws even further, one needs to grasp that some see increased abortion numbers as some sort of grim win – and others are also completely deluded about its importance to voters.

We remember 60,000 babies aborted on the 8th anniversary of Repeal

On the anniversary of abortion, we gathered yet again to remember those whose voice was stolen from them by the ugly reality of Repeal. We remember every baby whose life has been taken away - and every mother failed by an increasingly cold and uncaring society. 60,000 abortions is the opposite of compassion.

ANALYSIS: What we learned from the debate on the SocDem’s abortion bill

Two weeks ago on Wednesday May 12th, the Social Democrat’s abortion bill was defeated in the Dáil by a significant margin — 85 votes to 30. This bill sought to scrap the 3-day waiting period before an abortion, and expand the grounds for late term abortions. However, Sinn Fein is also proposing another similar bill in the weeks to come. So what can we learn from the debate on the SocDems bill?
