Statement in Support of Retaining the Three-day Wait before Abortion
A joint statement by medical doctors in Ireland to members of the Oireachtas on the proposed removal of the three-day waiting period before abortion.
125 doctors have signedBackground
The purpose of this website is to facilitate medical doctors in Ireland to issue a joint Statement to members of the Oireachtas, outlining our concerns at the proposed removal of the 3-day waiting period before abortion. Signatories hold varying views on the topic of abortion itself but are united on this issue.
The Oireachtas Health Committee is currently examining a Sinn Féin bill which proposes to remove the legal requirement for a 3-day period for reflection before an abortion.
The Statement will be submitted to TDs and Senators to inform them on the implications of the bill before further votes are taken.
Your support is much appreciated.
