Choice Ireland

The report launched today is the result of an investigation into the reality of abortion in Ireland, which was carried out in 2009. The report examines the real effects of Ireland's restrictive and often unclear abortion laws on women in crisis pregnancy and highlights the increased burdens placed on women forced to leave the state to access medical care.

Choice Ireland has written to all the Irish political parties to ask under what circumstances, if any, they would allow legal abortion in Ireland. We will post the replies here as we receive them.

At a meeting organised by Labour youth in the Central Hotel in Dublin on January 27th 2007 a group of activists took part in a workshop on direct action campaigning. From this workshop a diverse group of people arranged to continue meeting with the specific goal of investigating rogue crisis pregnancy agencies. Over the following weeks the group met in Seomra Spraoi and planned an undercover investigation to expose two of these agencies operating in Dublin.
