A British nonprofit organization called DUBLIN is
opening an abortion clinic in Ireland. This will be the first abortion clinic
to ever open on the island of Ireland. Anti-abortion campaigners are having a furious
reaction to this announcement and are planning to pressure the local
politicians to refuse to grant an operating license. The founder of an anti-abortion
group called Precious Life claims that organizations that make profits from the
deaths of unborn children are not welcome in Ireland. The church, the
government, and the church will go against the abortion clinic too. Mari Stopes
International is behind the proposed clinic and currently gives advice to women
who want to get abortions. This new clinic will limit the abortion to the first
nine weeks of pregnancy which is different from the twenty-four weeks that is
allowed across the rest of Britain. These terminations would involve taking
pills rather than a surgery. Right now abortion is allowed only under
limited circumstances in the case that the mother’s long-term physical or
mental health is threatened.
This article is significant because women should
have the option to abort their baby. It is not up to the church to decide
whether or not abortions are okay. As of now abortion is only given the option
for women if they have severe medical conditions. Abortion isn’t allowed in
Ireland even in the case of rape and I think that all women should have the
option of having an abortion if they want to. The church should not make the
final decision of who is and who is not allowed to have an abortion.
