Of the 12 women interviewed who experienced serious foetal anomaly diagnoses, just six qualified for abortion care in Ireland. Among the words used by them to describe their experiences are: awful, draining, anguish, arduous, harrowing, uncertain, protracted, cast out, shame, highly distressing, alone.
“Women found themselves in what they depicted as the “bizarre situation” of hoping for the condition to be deemed ‘fatal enough’,” the study finds. They felt their right to decide what was best for them and their babies was taken from them. The report notes: “The current restrictions on legal access to termination in cases of foetal anomaly fell short of women’s needs ... Aspects of the legislation negatively affected how health professionals could respond to service users. Criminalisation of doctors [had] a chilling effect on the interaction between health professionals providing abortion care and people seeking abortion care.”
If you find yourself wishing your baby is sick enough to die, time to reevaluate the lies you’ve been fed by the abortion pushers. Adjeculike”harrowing” and “chilling” belong to their ideology of injecting and dismembering babies, that’s the horror here.
Another Failing by the Minister of Health but not Surprised as its Women Affected
The REAL 'chilling effect'....
Less a chilling effect than witnessing the indifference & lack of compassion in Irish media & some people for a human being ripped from the womb...
